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.

Evgen [1.6K]

22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

What are sunspots?

Sunspots are caused by disturbances in the Sun's magnetic field welling up to the Sun's visible surface.

Sunspot are region of the earth that are more darker than other surfaces. They have a reduced temperature.

If sunspots are active, more solar flares will result creating an increase in geomagnetic storm activity for Earth.

Here, the sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years. So, for reversal polarity of the sun, 22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

A transformer has a 240 V primary and a 60 V secondary. With a 5 ohm load connected, what is the primary current?
musickatia [10]

Answer:primary current is 3A

Explanation:

primary voltage Vp=240V

secondary voltage Vs=60V

resistance 5Ω

primary current in the circuit is

I_{P} =I_{S} \frac{V_{S}}{V_{P}}\\I_{P} =\frac{V_{S}}{R}  \frac{V_{S}}{V_{P}}\\I_{P}=\frac{60\times 60}{5\times 240\\}\\I_{P}=3 A

If a star is moving away from you at a constant speed, how do the wavelengths of the absorption lines change as the star gets fa
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

they stay shifted the same amount to the red

Explanation:

Redshift is given by

z=\dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_e}{\lambda_e}

Where,

\lambda_o = Wavelength observed

\lambda_e = Wavelength emitted

Also

Transverse redshift is given by

1+z=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}

v = Velocity of object

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So, if the velocity is constant the redshift remains the same
