When Galileo got ahold of a little telescope ... no more than
a kid's toy today ... he soon turned it towards the night sky.
The story says that he was the first one to do that. Apparently
everyone else who had these things used them to look at their
neighbors' windows. Anyway, When Galileo looked at Jupiter,
he saw four tiny dots. As he watched them night after night, he
saw that the four dots always stayed with Jupiter, but got nearer
and farther from it. He eventually realized that they were small
bodies in orbit around Jupiter. And then ... because he was Galileo ...
he made the big intellectual jump: He reasoned that if there were
smaller bodies in orbit around Jupiter, then Jupiter and the other
planets might also be in orbit around something, and not necessarily
around the Earth. He understood this as evidence that the sun is
the center of the solar system.

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line

poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s$

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

An archer draws her bow and stores 34.8 J of elastic potential energy in the bow. She releases the 63 g arrow, giving it an init

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately $71\%$ .

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy $\rm KE$ of an object is:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

where

$m$ is the mass of that object, and
$v$ is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule ( $\rm J$ ) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for $\rm KE$ requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is $\rm kg$ while the standard unit for speed is $\rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

$m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg$ .

Initial $\rm KE$ of this arrow:

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

$\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%$ .
