Answer:

0.0002778° are equivalent to one second of arc.

Explanation:

1 degree consists of 60 arc minutes.

1 arc minutes consists of 60 arc seconds.

It can also be written as:

1 minute of arc comprise of 1/60 degree.

1 second of arc comprise of 1/60 arc minutes.

So,

<u>1 second of arc comprise of (1/60)*(1/60) degree.</u>

Thus,

$1 second\ of\ arc=\frac{1}{60\times60}^0$

$1''=\frac{1}{3600}^0$

$1''= 0.0002778^0$

Thus,

<u>0.0002778° are equivalent to one second of arc.</u>

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radioactive materials will usually decay based on their specific half lives. In radioactivity, the plot of the natural logarithm of the original radioactive material against time will give a straight-line curve. This is mostly used to estimate the decay constant that is equivalent to the negative of the slope. Thus, the answer is option C.

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

$F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}$

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67 = μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136

Race car is accelerating and has a velocity of 10 m/s @ t=0. It completes a lap on a circular track of 400 m in 14 seconds. Calc

wariber [46]

Answer:

component of acceleration are a = 3.37 m/s² and ar = 22.74 m/s²

magnitude of acceleration is 22.98 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

velocity = 10 m/s

initial time to = 0

distance s = 400 m

time t = 14 s

to find out

components and magnitude of acceleration after the car has travelled 200 m

solution

first we find the radius of circular track that is

we know distance S = 2πR

400 = 2πR

R = 63.66 m

and tangential acceleration is

S = ut + 0.5 ×at²

here u is initial speed and t is time and S is distance

400 = 10 × 14 + 0.5 ×a (14)²

a = 3.37 m/s²

and here tangential acceleration is constant

so velocity at distance 200 m

v² - u² = 2 a S

v² = 10² + 2 ( 3.37) 200

v = 38.05 m/s

so radial acceleration at distance 200 m

ar = $\frac{v^2}{R}$

ar = $\frac{38.05^2}{63.66}$

ar = 22.74 m/s²

so magnitude of total acceleration is

A = $\sqrt{a^2 + ar^2}$

A = $\sqrt{3.37^2 + 22.74^2}$

A = 22.98 m/s²

so magnitude of acceleration is 22.98 m/s²
