Cold air is denser and heavier, whereas warm air has less density and is lighter. heavier mediums sink, and lighter mediums float.

Because cold air tends to more dense, and it's therefore heavier, and it sinks.
Hot air though is hot with no density so it's light and rises.

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: \frac{V^{2}}{r}

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force F is proportional to the mass Fm and acceleration a:

F=m.a (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (2)

Where:

V is the velocity

r is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (3)

Hence:

a=\frac{V^{2}}{r} This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

A boy throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m

A bicycle pump contains 200 cm3 of air and is connected to a bicycle tyre. The volume of the tyre is 800 cm3. The pressure of th
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The total volume of the air is 1000 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

Since the bicycle pump and the bicycle tyre have the same pressure, then the total volume of the air is the sum of the volume of each element, then we translate this into the following artihmetical expression:

V = 200\,cm^{3}+800\,cm^{3}

V = 1000\,cm^{3}

The total volume of the air is 1000 cubic centimeters.

A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 mete
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The  last two bearings are

49.50° and 104.02°

Explanation:

Applying the Law of cosine (refer to the figure attached):

we have

x² = y² + z² - 2yz × cosX

here,

x, y and z represents the lengths of sides opposite to the angels X,Y and Z.

Thus we have,

cos X=\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2}{-2yz}

or

cos X=\frac{y^2 + z^2-x^2}{2yz}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

cos X=\frac{2900^2 + 3700^2-1700^2}{2\times 2900\times 3700}

or

cos X=0.8951

or

X = 26.47°

similarly,

cos Y=\frac{1700^2 + 3700^2-2900^2}{2\times 1700\times 3700}

or

cos Y=0.649

or

Y = 49.50°

Consequently, the angel Z = 180° - 49.50 - 26.47 = 104.02°

The bearing of 2 last legs of race are angels Y and Z.
