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.

D) Standing wave

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Standing wave also called stationary wave is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source.
Examples of standing waves include the vibration of a violin string and electron orbitals in an atom.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f$

$V_1+3V_2=4V_f$ and making $V_f$ the subject then

$V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4}$ and since $V_1$ is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, $V_2$ is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and $v_f$ is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

$V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s$

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ$

Final kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ$

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

Explanation:

The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

Volume of sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius.

We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

Approximate volume of head $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3$

In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

So, volume of head = Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
