Centripetal acceleration points from the object toward the center of the circular path it's traveling.

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

When an object is moving around an circular path it experiences an force towards the centre of circular path radially. This force is called centripetal force.

Due to the centripetal force a centripetal acceleration is also acting on the body which also have same direction as force that is radially inwards.

The electrostatic force between the two ions is $2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particle is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the ion of sodium has a charge of

$q_1 = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

while the ion of chlorine has a charge of

$q_2 = -e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And the distance between the two ions is

$r=282 pm = 282\cdot 10^{-12} m$

Substituting, we find the electrostatic force between the two ions:

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}{(282\cdot 10^{-12})^2}=-2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N$

where the negative sign simply means that the force is attractive, since the two ions have opposite charge.

In which changes of state do atoms lose energy

Anika [276]

Yeah, it's every state. Atoms need a certain quanta of energy to jump to each state of energy, and therefore change state depending on how much energy is absorbed and/or released. This applies to all states of matter.

A bungee jumper feels weightless as she falls toward the earth.what accounts for her weightless feeling when she fall freely?1.

Ann [662]

The feel of weight comes due to the normal reaction force given by the support. Hence, the condition of weightlessness is when the normal reaction force becomes zero. So, during free fall there is no support which can provide the normal reaction. Hence, the bungee jumper feels weightless as she falls towards the earth because of the lack of support force that balances gravity.

Hence, the answer is 3.
