The answer is A. When the forces are weaker, they will not be able to hold the particles of the substances together; therefore, the substance will be observed as being volatile.

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

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

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option

A 50.0 Watt stereo emits sound waves isotropically at a wavelength of 0.700 meters. This stereo is stationary, but a person in a
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a) f' = 432 Hz

b) I = 8.12*10^-4 W/m^2

Explanation:

a) To calculate the frequency of sound waves that car receives, you take into account the Doppler effect. In this case (observer moves away of the source) you have the following formula:

f'=f(\frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s})    (1)

where

f: frequency of the source = ?

v: speed of sound = 343 m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 40.0 m/s

vs: speed of the source = 0 m/s (stationary)

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

To calculate f' you first calculate the frequency of the sound wave, by using the following formula:

v=\lambda f\\\\

v: speed of sound

λ: wavelength = 0.700 m

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343m/s}{0.700m}=480Hz

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

f'=(490Hz)(\frac{343m/s-40.0m/s}{343m/s})=432Hz

hence, the frequency perceived by the car is 432 Hz

b) To calculate the power of the sound wave, when the car is 70.0 maway from the speaker, you use the following formula:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P: power of the source = 50.0 W

r: distance to the source = 70.0 m

I=\frac{50.0 W}{4\pi(70.0m)^2}=8.12*10^{-4}\frac{W}{m^2}

hence, the intensity is 8.12*10^⁻4 W/m^2

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of  55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal (F cos \theta)and vertical component (F sin\theta).

Horizontal component: F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N

Vertical component: F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.

After a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, its new mass number is:
Ivanshal [37]
Radioactive "decay" means particles and stuff shoot OUT of a nucleus.
After that happens, there's less stuff in the nucleus than there was before.
So the new mass number is always less than the original mass number.

Light travels at a speed of close to 3 x 10^5 km/s in vacuum. Given that it takes light 8 min and 19 s to travel the distance fr
never [62]

Answer:

1497×10⁵ km

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s

Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s

Converting to seconds we get

8×60+19 = 499 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=3\times 10^5\times 499\\\Rightarrow \text{Distance}=1497\times 10^5\ km

1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km

The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth
