Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.

Which is a charcharacteristic of all ions?

ankoles [38]

An ion is created by the transfer of electrons. The metals give away the elections and become positively charged. The non - metals take on electrons.

Balance.

So an ion is any atom that either gives away or takes on electrons.

A sinusoidal wave has period 0.20 s and wavelength 2.0 m. What is the wave speed?

il63 [147K]

Answer:10m/s

Explanation:

Wave speed ,v=for

Where π= wavelength=2m

Period =1/f f=frequency of wave

F=1/period

=1/0.2=5Hz

So speed of waves,v=5×2=10m/s

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is $14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}$ , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

W = $\int_{0}^{0.54} F dx$

= $\int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx$

= $[14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}$

= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

= 7653.31 J

or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

A skydiver of mass 80.0 kg jumps from a slow-moving aircraft and reaches a terminal speed of 50.0 m/s. (a) What is her accelerat

kirill [66]

Answer:

6.22²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the skydiver, m = 80 kg

Terminal speed of the skydiver, v(f) = 50 m/s

Speed of the skydiver, v(i) = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the skydiver, a = ?

To solve this, we use the formula

W - k v² = ma, where

W = weight of the skydiver

k = constant

v = speed of the skydiver

m = mass of the skydiver

So, if we substitute the values into it we have

W = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

784 - k 50² = 80 *0

784 - 2500k = 0

784 = 2500k

k = 0.3136

Now, we use this value of k to find the needed acceleration using the same formula at a speed of 30 m/s

784 - 0.3136 * 30² = 80 * a

784 - 0.3136 * 900 = 80a

784 - 282.24 = 80a

497.76 = 80a

a = 497.76 / 80

a = 6.22 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration when the speed of the skydiver is 30 m/s, is 6.22 m/s²

The GPE of a 70kg person standing on a chair 1m off the ground is how many joules?

Artemon [7]

GPE I am assuming is gravitational potential energy. I'll denote it as U for simplicity.

U = mgy
U = (70kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) = 686.7J

U = 686.7J

Hope this helps!
