Answer:

Because the person is changing direction

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the change in time

We must keep in mind that velocity is a vector, consisting of a speed and a direction. Therefore, a change in velocity means:

- either a change in the speed of the object, or

- a change in its direction

In this problem, the person is running around the track with a constant speed. However, his velocity is constantly changing (because the track is circular), this means that the change in velocity is not zero, and so there is a non-zero acceleration.

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .
serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>

Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

If you were trying to build a soundproof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most sou
leonid [27]

Explanation :  

Absorption coefficient of a material determines how much sound is absorbed by the material.

To build a soundproof room, Heavy curtains and carpet can be used. They reduce reverberation.

Reverberation means an echoing sound which persists for some time. For example, when we bang on a huge piece of metal, we hear the reverberation even after we stop banging.  

Hence, option (A) and (D) are correct.
