A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot

tom of the hill at 2.5 m. What is the snowball's change in centripetal acceleration from the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill?

To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r

where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m

assuming the velocity does not change:

at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
                                      = 81 m/s^2

at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
                                      = 16.2 m/s^2

to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill

= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2

Answer:

1) The human skeleton performs six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. protection of internal organs

2) Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible. Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways.

3)A joint is a point where two or more bones meet. There are three main types of joints; Fibrous (immovable), Cartilaginous (partially moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable) joint

4)A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
