<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option B, C and E.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Centripetal acceleration is defined as the acceleration win which an object moves in a curved path. Formula for this acceleration is given by the equation:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where,

$a_c$ = centripetal acceleration

v = linear speed of the object

r = radius of the curved path

From the given options,

Option A: As, the golf ball is not moving in a curved path. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option B: As, a car is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option C: As, a person is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option D: As, a car is not moving in a curved path and is moving in a straight road. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration. The car is moving with zero acceleration because the direction of the car is not changing.

Option E: As, a bicyclist is moving in a curved path which is around the lake. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

At the Earth's surface, a projectile is launched straight up at a speed of 10.0km / s. To what height will it rise? Ignore air r

At h = 5199.28 km it will rise. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion. When work, which entails the transfer of energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, that object acquires kinetic energy.

There are five types of kinetic energy: mechanical, electrical, acoustic, thermal, and radiant. Kinetic energy (KE), which is the energy of a body in motion, is essentially the energy of all moving objects. It is one of the two main types of energy together with potential energy, which is the stored energy existing in objects at rest.

<h3>To what height will it rise?</h3>

Equating the initial kinetic energy to the final potential energy

At the highest point, the body has only potential energy

initial kinetic energy = .5 * m * v2

velocity = 10.1 km/s

= 10.1 * 10100 m/s

= 10100 m/s

KE = .5 * m * (10100)2 = 51.005 x 106 x m J

potential energy = m x g x h

max height reached = m x 9.81 x h

m x 9.81 x h = 51.005 x 106 x m J

h = 5199.28 km

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude 1.70 nC separated by 6.80 μm is in an electric field of strength 1160 N/C.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m and ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

The potential energie dipole is described by the expression

U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

θ = 0º

U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

θ = 180º

cos 180 = -1

U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J
