That statement is false. It's exactly the opposite direction.

In circular motion, the "centripetal" force ... and therefore the centripetal acceleration ... points TOWARD the center.

8090 [49]
<span>When an object moves in a circle, the acceleration points toward the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. We can use a simple equation to find centripetal acceleration. a = v^2 / r We can use this same equation to find the speed of the car. v^2 = a * r v = sqrt { a * r } v = sqrt{ (1.50)(9.80 m/s^2)(11.0 m) } v = 12.7 m/s The speed of the roller coaster is 12.7 m/s</span>

A 0.07-kg lead bullet traveling 258 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all of the bullet's energy is converted t
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

temperature change is 262.06°K

Explanation:

given data

mass = 0.07 kg

velocity = 258 m/s

to find out

what is its temperature change

solution

we know here

heat change Q is is equal to kinetic energy that is

KE = 0.5 × m× v²   ...........1

here m is mass and v is velocity

KE = 0.5 × 0.07 × 258²

KE = 2329.74 J

and we know

Q = mC∆t     .................2

here m is mass and ∆t is change in temperature and C is 127J/kg-K

so put here all value

2329.74 = 0.07 × 127 × ∆t

∆t = 262.06

so temperature change is 262.06°K
