The answer is:

1. Cure disease

2. Improve livelihoods

3. Understand nature and themselves.

1. Disease has plagued humans since the first man. Therefore, man has always used science to seek a cure for any emerging disease such as cancer today

2. Humans use science to improve livelihoods such as means of faster traveling and increasing yields in the fields

3. Science has been used to understand humans and the environment in which they live. This is evident with the numerous scientific probes that explore the earth and space collecting and analyzing data.

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

A helicopter flies 25 km north, 5 km east, then 5 km S, then 15 km W. What is the resultant displacement and direction of the he

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plotting the original location of the helicopter before it flies 25 km north, it would be at the origin, (0,0) then after it flies north, the y vertex gains 25 points, so it would be (0,25)

After it flies east, the x coordinate gains 5 points, so it would now be (5,25)

After it flies south, the y coordinate loses or is subtracted by 5 points. so it would now be (5,20)

After flying west, the x coordinate loses 15 points. So the final vertex would be at (-10,20)

East = Right

West = Left

South= Down

North = Up

I used mainly mathematical methods by adding and subtracting the x and y coordinate values, but this could be graphed easily since I gave the coordinates just incase!

Hope this helps!

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.39$

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}$
