Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

Peak wavelength of light coming from a star with a temp of 4300k

PSYCHO15rus [73]

from Wein's law

$\frac{k}{ \lambda_{max} } = T \\ \lambda_{max} = \frac{k}{T} \\ \lambda_{max} = \frac{3.898 \times {10}^{ - 3} }{4300} \\ = 9.065 \times {10}^{ - 7}$

Consult interactive solution 2.22 before beginning this problem. a car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +30.0

Inessa05 [86]

Let $a_1$ be the average acceleration over the first 2.46 seconds, and $a_2$ the average acceleration over the next 6.79 seconds.

At the start, the car has velocity 30.0 m/s, and at the end of the total 9.25 second interval it has velocity 15.2 m/s. Let $v$ be the velocity of the car after the first 2.46 seconds.

By definition of average acceleration, we have

$a_1=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

$a_2=\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}$

and we're also told that

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=1.66$

(or possibly the other way around; I'll consider that case later). We can solve for $a_1$ in the ratio equation and substitute it into the first average acceleration equation, and in turn we end up with an equation independent of the accelerations:

$1.66a_2=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

$\implies1.66\left(\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}\right)=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

Now we can solve for $v$ . We find that

$v=20.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

In the case that the ratio of accelerations is actually

$\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=1.66$

we would instead have

$\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}=1.66\left(\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}\right)$

in which case we would get a velocity of

$v=24.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

Kepler proposed the modern model of the solar system. <br> True or False

givi [52]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer. He proposed a model of the solar system which remains in use, with some modifications. Moreover, he developed the laws of planetary motion which explain how the planets move around the sun. This work was not only significant on its own, but it also provided the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
