<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina </h2>

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.

Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.

It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the aviation era.

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t

levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

$F=m\omega^2 r$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

$\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s$ is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

$F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N$

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

nalin [4]

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

Jamal is at Six Flags playing at the arcade. At one booth he throws a 0.50 kg ball

Mekhanik [1.2K]

were solving for v velocity of the ball after it has hit the bottle. a. momentum ->p=mv->ball + bottle momentum during hit = ball + bottle momentum after hit-> ball (.5*21)+ bottle (.2*0) (it's 0 because the the bottle is standing still) = ball after hit (.5*v)+bottle after hit (.2*30) -> 10.5+0=.5v+6 ->4.5=.5v->v=9m/s

b. if bottle was heavier the ball would be slower so final velocity would decrease

Compare the roles of mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant and animal cells

Ivahew [28]

Mitochondria help take energy from sugar or glucose and convert it into a simpler form, called ATP, that the cell can more easily use. This process is called cellular respiration, and the mitochondria plays a central role in it.Mitochondria are composed of two membranes.An outer membrane covers the organelle like a skin, protecting it.An inner membrane, that is folded over again and again to create a layered structure called crista, which is studded with proteins. The fluid inside these folds is called the matrix.Chloroplasts are very similar to mitochondria, but are found only in the cells of plants and some algae. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts produce food for their cells. Chloroplasts help turn sunlight into food that can be used by the cell, a process known as photosynthesis.
