Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

What is a centripetal acceleration of a point on a bicycle wheel of a radius of 0.70 m when a bike is moving 8.0 m/s

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.

Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.

The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity $v$ and at a distance of $r$ from the axis of rotation is given as:

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

Here, $v=8\ m/s,r=0.70\ m$

∴ $a=\frac{8}{0.70}=11.43\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The

12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is $8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1}$ and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field ( $\vec{E}$ ) is given by $\vec{E} = - \nabla V$ , 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, $V = 0.070~V~$ and the thickness of the cell membrane is $d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m$ .

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

$E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}$

Two particles with charges are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixed at positio

ddd [48]

Answer:

potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The potential energy between the two charged particles is given by

U = k Q q / r

If they are very far apart then r tends to infinity and the potential energy is zero.

If they come closer then the potential energy between the two charged particles increases.

Thus, the potential energy increases.

Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. Suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the c

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. $v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. $v_{car}=6.3m/s\\v_{truck}=-6.3m/s$

C. ΔK $=-4.13x10^3J$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

$v_{1}=5.79m/s\\m_{1}=102kg\\v_{2}=18.5m/s\\m_{2}=103kg$

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

$m_{3}=102kg+103kg=205kg$

From linear momentum we got that:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}$

$v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3} }=\frac{(102kg)(5.79m/s)+(103kg)(18.5m/s)}{(205kg)}$

$v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:

For the car

$v_{car}=v_{f}-v_{o}=12.17m/s-5.79m/s=6.38m/s$

For the truck

$v_{truck}=12.17m/s-18.5m/s=-6.3m/s$

C. The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔK= $K_{2}-K_{1} =\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2})$

ΔK= $\frac{1}{2}(205)(12.17)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(102)(5.79)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(103)(18.5)^{2})=-4.13x10^{3}J$

ΔK $=-4.13x10^{3}J$

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2 we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 0.342 m

frequency 2 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz
