A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.

What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of point A after 2 seconds? The bar starts from rest and has a constant angular
monitta

Answer:

a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) ,   a_total = 2,236 m

Explanation:

The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is

          a_total² = a_T²2 + a_{c}²

where

the centripetal acceleration is

  a_{c} = v² / r = w r²

tangential acceleration

   a_T = dv / dt

angular and linear acceleration are related

         a_T = α  r

we substitute in the first equation

       a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]

       a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)

Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0

        w = w₀ + α t

        w = 0 + 1.0 2

        w = 2.0rad / s

       

we substitute

        a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5

        a_total = r 2,236

In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m

         a_total = 2,236 m

Please help quick! 3 questions if you answer all I will give brainliest
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  1.Spectroscopes breaks the light from a single material into its component colors the way a prism splits white light into a rainbow. It records this spectrum, which allows scientists to analyze the light and discover properties of the material interacting with it.  

2.Optical Telescopes The now-indispensable optical telescope instrument was pioneered by Galileo Galilei in 1609, although others had created similar tools by then

2.A stellar spectrum can reveal many properties of stars, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.

3.Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. The process of star formation takes around a million years from the time the initial gas cloud starts to collapse until the star is created and shines like the Sun.Once the pressure and the temperature inside get high enough for nuclear fusion to ignite, it creates a star.
