2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 50m

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cyclist

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist is directed inside of the corner because his motion is inward. This is a form of centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

v is the velocity

r is the radius

a = $\frac{10^{2} }{50}$ = 2m/s²

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

3.53×10⁶ N/c due west

Explanation:

From the question

E = F'/q........................ Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F = Net Force, q = Charge.

But,

F' = F₂-F₁...................... Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

E = (F₂-F₁)/q................ Equation 3

Given: F₁ = 3 N due east, F₂ = 15 N due west, q = 3.4×10⁻⁶ C

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = (15-3)/(3.4×10⁻⁶)

E = 12/(3.4×10⁻⁶)

E = 3.53×10⁶ N/c due west

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U

Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.
