Answer:

a_{c}=82617.65km/h^{2}\\  or\\a_{c}=6.37m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given data

Speed v=2650 km/h

Radius r=85.0 km

To find

Centripetal Acceleration

Solution

As centripetal acceleration is given as

a_{c}=\frac{v^{2} }{r}................eq(i)

where

v is velocity

r is the radius

Substitute the given values in eq(i)

a_{c}=\frac{(2650km/h)^{2} }{85km} \\a_{c}=82617.65km/h^{2}\\  or\\a_{c}=6.37m/s^{2}

A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 23
vichka [17]

Answer:

V2 / V1 = √(2)

Explanation:

From kinetic theory of gas,

V = √(3RT/M)

v = speed of the gas

R = ideal gas constant

T = Temperature of the gas

M = molar mass of the gas

V = √(3RT/M)

V₂ / V₁ = √(3RT₂/M) / √(3RT₁/M)

3R / M = 3R / M = 1

V₂ / V₁ = √(T₂ / T₁)

V₂ / V₁ = √(470 / 235)

V₂ / V₁ = √(2)

The ratio of the two velocities V₂ / V₁ = √(2)

Two conducting spheres of different sizes are at the same potential. The radius of the larger sphere is four times larger than t
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

The two spheres have the same potential, V.

Let the radius of the larger sphere be R and the radius of the smaller sphere be r,

=> R = 4r

Let the charge on the smaller sphere be q. Hence, the larger sphere will have charge Q - q.

The potential of the smaller sphere will be:

V_S = \frac{kq}{r}

The potential of the larger sphere will be:

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{R}

Inputting R = 4r,

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{4r}

Since V_S = V_L = V,

\frac{k(Q - q)}{4r} = \frac{kq}{r}

=> Q - q = 4q

=> 5q = Q

q = 0.2Q

The fraction of the charge Q that rests on the smaller sphere is 0.2

The charge of the larger sphere is:

Q - q = Q - 0.2Q = 0.8Q

∴ The fraction of the total charge Q that rests on the larger sphere is 0.8

Marys airplane trip took 5.8 hours for one-half of that time, the airplane flew at a constant speed of 640 miles per hour and fo
Olenka [21]
Distance is speed x time.  Half of the trip is 5.8/2 = 2.9hrs.
640 x 2.9 = 1856mi
580 x 2.9 = 1682mi
1856mi+1682mi=3538mi.

You could also calculate her average speed.  This is easy since it was divided in two equal time slices.  Average Speed = (640+580)/2 = 610mi/hr
Now 610mi/hr x 5.8hrs = 3538mi

Optical astronomers need a clear, dark sky to collect good data. Explain why radio astronomers have no problem observing in the
gregori [183]

Answer:

In the clarification portion elsewhere here, the definition of the concern is mentioned.

Explanation:

So like optical telescopes capture light waves, introduce it to concentrate, enhance it, as well as make it usable through different instruments via study, so radio telescopes accumulate weak signal light waves, introduce that one to focus, enhance it, as well as make this information available during research. To research naturally produced radio illumination from stars, galaxies, dark matter, as well as other natural phenomena, we utilize telescopes.

Optical telescopes detect space-borne visible light. There are some drawbacks of optical telescopes mostly on the surface:

  • Mostly at night would they have been seen.
  • Unless the weather gets cloudy, bad, or gloomy, they shouldn't be seen.

Although radio telescopes monitor space-coming radio waves. Those other telescopes, when they are already typically very massive as well as costly, have such an improvement surrounded by optical telescopes. They should be included in poor weather and, when they travel through the surrounding air, the radio waves aren't obscured by clouds. Throughout the afternoon and also some at night, radio telescopes are sometimes used.

An airplane traveling at one third the speed of sound (i.e., 114 m/s) emits a sound of frequency 3.72 kHz. At what frequency doe
nlexa [21]

Answer:

f'=5.58kHz

Explanation:

This is an example of the Doppler effect, the formula is:

f'=\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v+v_s)}f

Where f is the actual frequency, f' is the observed frequency, v is the velocity of the sound waves, v_o the velocity of the observer (which is negative if the observer is moving away from the source)  and v_s the velocity of the source  (which is negative if is moving towards the observer). For this problem:

f=3.72kHz\\v=342m/s\\v_o=0m/s\\v_s=-114m/s

f'=\frac{(342+0)}{(342-114)}3.72\times10^3\\f'=\frac{342}{228}3.72\times10^3\\f'=(1.5)3.72\times10^3\\f'=5580Hz=5.58kHz
