Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

An object moving around a xirxular path maintains its route as a result of centripetal force. However, its acceleration is caused by centripetal acceleration. Despite centripetal acceleration not being among the choices, it is the right answer.

Centripetal acceleration helps an object that navigates around a circular path to accelerate while centripetal force enables the movement of an object around a circular path to move inwards. Momentum, given as one of the choices is product of mass and velocity while friction is the force opposing movement of an object around a surface.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

a)mass = 300kg

b) no of atoms = 1.81 x 10^26atoms.

c)Fission Activity = 207Bq

d) no of fissions = 1.79 × 107 d^-1

Explanation:

a)mass= (3×10-4)(10^6kg) = 300kg

b) no of atoms = (300kg) X (6.022×10^23/kg) = 1.81 x 10^26atoms.

c)Fission Activity = (0.69)(300kg) = 207Bq

d) no of fissions = (207)(86400) = 1.79 × 107 d^-1

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t
Serga [27]

Answer:

115 m/s, 414 km/hr

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on a skydiver: gravity and air resistance (drag).  At terminal velocity, the two forces are equal and opposite.

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

Drag force is defined as:

D = ½ ρ v² C A

where ρ is the fluid density,

v is the velocity,

C is the drag coefficient,

and A is the cross sectional surface area.

Substituting and solving for v:

½ ρ v² C A = mg

v² = 2mg / (ρCA)

v = √(2mg / (ρCA))

We're given values for m and A, and we know the value of g.  We need to look up ρ and C.

Density of air depends on pressure and temperature (which vary with elevation), but we can estimate ρ ≈ 1.21 kg/m³.

For a skydiver falling headfirst, C ≈ 0.7.

Substituting all values:

v = √(2 × 80.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² / (1.21 kg/m³ × 0.7 × 0.140 m²))

v = 115 m/s

v = 115 m/s × (1 km / 1000 m) × (3600 s / hr)

v = 414 km/hr
