The final speed of the object is 15.3 m/s

Explanation:

The object in the problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (it is in free fall), so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

s is the vertical displacement

For the object in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

s = 12 m is the displacement of the object

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(12)}=15.3 m/s

If the direction changes as a motorcycle goes around the curve, what else must be changing?A. AccelerationB. ForceC. SpeedD. Vel
pogonyaev

In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. Since the object's velocity vector is constantly changing direction, the moving object is undergoing acceleration by a centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation. Without this acceleration, the object would move in a straight line.

In this sense, the acceleration is always changing due to centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

A. Acceleration

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.
