What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m

and an average orbital speed of 29.7 km/s

Answer: 0.0058 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration a_{C} is calculated by the following equation:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s is the Earth's orbital speed

r=1.5(10)^{11} m is the orbital radius

a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}

a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.
Ksju [112]
 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

within ____minutes after a drink is consumed all of the alcoholic content has probably been absorbed into your body
OverLord2011 [107]

20-60minutes

Explanation:

Within 10-20minutes after a drink is consumed all of the alcoholic content has probably been absorbed into body.

Alcohol is absorbed into the body much more fast.

  • It does not undergo digestion process like food.
  • It can easily be absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Alcohol is readily absorbed and carried round into the body.
  • It doesn't get processed like food in the body where they pass through the digestive system.
  • The body sees alcohol as nutrient.
  • It carries it to the brain and other parts of the body.

Li and Raj are playing football. They take turns trying to run past each other with the football. Li weighs 125 pound and Raj we
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Explanation:

Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:

- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)

- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion

In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

You read in a science magazine that on the Moon, the speed of a shell leaving the barrel of a modern tank is enough to put the s
olga_2 [115]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the kinematic equations of centrifugal motion, using the constants of the gravitational acceleration of the moon and the radius of this star.

Centrifugal acceleration is determined by

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From the given data of the moon we know that gravity there is equivalent to

a = 1.62m/s

While the radius of the moon is given by

r = 1.74*10^6m

If we rearrange the function to find the speed we will have to

v = \sqrt{ar}

v = \sqrt{1.6(1.74*10^6)}

v = 1.7km/s

The speed for this to happen is 1.7km/s
