The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,
a = v² / r
where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Substituting the known values from the given above,
4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r
The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.
Answer: 51.14 m
Answer:
Water breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen is a decomposition reaction
Hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water is a synthesis reaction
Explanation:
A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the breakdown of a chemical reactant entity into two or more simpler product fragments
Water H₂O undergoes a decomposition reaction by breaking down into hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, as follows;
2H₂O (l) → 2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)
A synthesis reaction is a reaction that involves the chemical combination of two or more dissimilar molecules or atoms to produce a different compound or molecule
Water, H₂O, is formed by a synthesis reaction of hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, combining as follows;
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Answer:
-20000 kgm/s
Explanation:
Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.
Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as
I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.
Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.
Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)
Substitute into equation 1
I = 100(0-20)
I = 1000(-20)
I = -20000 kgm/s
Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
