Answer:

True

Explanation:

If the object moves at constant speed then it means that the velocity changes instantaneously although the speed does not change. The change in velocity brings out acceleration and where there is a mass that undergoes acceleration there must be an external resultant force. this force is centripetal force.

When an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, the net force toward the centre of the circle is the centripetal force is true.

<u>Answer:</u> <em>True </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transnational motion of objects is influenced by linear force and uniform circular motion of objects is influenced by centripetal force. Any force has a direction since it is a vector. Centripetal force is given by the equation

$F=mv^2/r$ and its direction is towards the centre.

In this equation m denotes the mass of the object, v is denotes its velocity and r denotes the radius of the circular path around which it moves.

Earth’s satellite, the moon revolves around the sun on its orbit due to the gravitational force of earth which is centripetal in this case.

How do you tell a stars life expectancy based on an hr diagram?

e-lub [12.9K]

The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin. The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.

Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.

faust18 [17]

Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

When a 70 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool

allochka39001 [22]

The diameter of one leg of the stool is missing and it's 2cm.

Answer:

(ΔL/L) = 0.00729%

Explanation:

If the Weight of the man is W, the weight will be distributed equally on the 3 legs and so the reactions for each leg will be W/3 or F/3.

Now, Youngs modulus(Y) of douglas fir wood is about 1.3 x 10^(10) N/m^2. Gotten from youngs modulus of common materials.

Now, weight of man is 70kg.

Now diameter of one leg is 2cm.so radius of one leg = 2/2 = 1cm = 1 x 10^(-2)m

Area for one leg is; π( 1 x 10^(-2)m)^2 = 3.14 x 10^(-4)m

Now as stated earlier, the force on one leg is; F/3.

Now F = mg = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7N

So, force on one leg = 686.7/3 = 228. 9N

Now we know youngs modulus(Y) = Stress/Strain.

Stress = F/A while Strain = ΔL/L

Therefore Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

And therefore, (ΔL/L) = F/(AY)

So (ΔL/L) = 228.9/(3.14 x 10^(-4))x(1.3 x 10^(10)) = 7. 29 x 10^(-5)

When expressed in percentage, it becomes 0.00729%

What is the momentum of a car with a mass of 1,300 kg traveling at a speed of 28 m/s?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 36,400 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 1,300 kg

speed / velocity = 28 m/s

We have

momentum = 1,300 × 28

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
