<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ).

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge

Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is $\lambda$ and the net charge per unit length is $2 \lambda$ .

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let $\lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o$ are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

$\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}$

$E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}$

$0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}$

$\lambda_i=-\lambda$

For outer surface,

$\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda$

$-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda$

$\lambda_o=3\lambda$

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

$E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}$

$E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

During anomalous expansion of water ,heat transfer is limited to conduction and radiation only ,explain.

aalyn [17]

Heat transfer is limited to conduction and radiation only in anomalous expansion of water simply because of the temperature at which the expansion occurs and density

<h3>What is anomalous expansion of water?</h3>

Anomalous expansion of water is a property of water in which water expands instead of contracting.

Anomalous expansion of water makes water less dense.
The major effect of this anomalous expansion it will still remain less dense and at the surface of water.
Interestingly, this expansion occurs when it is cooled from 4°C to 0°C.

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and the momentum of magnitude of 25.0 kg m/s. find the speed and mass of the object

lyudmila [28]

<span>Recall formula for Kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE = 275J and momentum (which is 25.0 kg m/s) = m*v Therefore substitute for KE and mv in the equation above to get speed => 275 = 0.5 * 25 * v v = 275/12.5 v = 22m/s to get mass m, recall momentum = m*v => 25= 22*m m= 25/22 = 1.3663kg</span>

The net force is 180 and the mass is 1.793 what is the acceleration

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

100.390407

Explanation:

To find acceleration, you would use the formula a=f/m (acceleration equals force divided by mass) and then once you enter those numbers in the formula, a=180/1.793. Then you divide 180 divided by 1.793 which gets you an answer of 100.390407.
