Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

n the outer section at a distance of 11.5 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 6 feet from the center. What is Mary's centripetal acceleration aM compared to that of Alex's centripetal acceleration aA?

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

Electromagnetic radiation behaves both as particles (called photons) and as waves. Wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) are related
inessss [21]
<h2>Answer: 136.363 m</h2>

Explanation:

We can find the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave oven by using the following given equation:

c=\lambda.\nu   (1)

Clearing \lambda :

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}   (2)

Knowing \nu=2.20 GHz=2.20(10)^{6}Hz=2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}

\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}}   (3)

\lambda=136.363m This is the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Astronomers build optical telescopes on tops of mountains because a. there is less air to dim the light. b. the seeing is better
V125BC [204]

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

Which of the following is an effect of the electric force?
stich3 [128]

As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other

The force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1, q_2 = two different point charges

r = distance between two point charges

also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other

so here correct answer would be

<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>

Two resistors of 15 and 30 ω are connected in parallel. if the combination is connected in series with a 9. 0-v battery and a 20
Stels [109]

Resistors Working Together.

Resistors are shown coupled in parallel to a voltage source in Figure 10.3.4. When all of the resistors' ends are connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance and their other ends are also connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance, the resistors are said to be in parallel. There is a constant potential drop across all resistors. Ohm's law, I=V/R, can be used to determine the current flowing through each resistor while the voltage is constant across each resistor. For instance, the headlights, radio, and other components of an automobile are linked in parallel so that each subsystem can use the entire voltage of the source and function independently. The wiring in your home or any other structure shares the same

The original circuit is shown in part a with two parallel resistors linked to a voltage source, and the equivalent circuit is shown in part b with one equivalent resistor connected to the voltage source.
