Answer:

d) greater than g

Explanation:

You have to apply Newton's Second Law to have an idea about the value of <em>the block's aceleration.</em>

∑F = ma

Where m is the mass, a is the acceleration and F represents all the forces involved.

You have to draw a free body diagram for the block at the top of the loop. (See the attachment)

Applying Newton's Second Law:

y: N+mg=ma

Where N is the <em>normal force</em> (the contact force that the loop's surface applies to the block) and mg is the <em>weight.</em>

Therefore a= \frac{N}{m} + g

So, you can notice that <em>the magnitude of the block's acceleration</em> is greater than the acceleration of gravity because of the effect of the magnitude N/m.

Answer:

Lifetime = 4.928 x 10^-32 s  

Explanation:

(1 / v2 – 1 / c2) x2 = T2

T2 = (1/ 297900000 – 1 / 90000000000000000) 0.0000013225

T2 = (3.357 x 10^-9 x 1.11 x 10^-17) 1.3225 x 10^-6

T2 = (3.726 x 10^-26) 1.3225 x 10^-6 = 4.928 x 10^-32 s

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p
frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2

(a) Since, a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = velocity

dv=a.dt

v=\int(a.dt)

v=\int(5-10t)(dt)

v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2

(b) v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

x = position

x=\int v.dt

x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt

x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3

(c) Velocity function is given by :

v=5t-5t^2

5t-5t^2=0

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

What is the difference between a mineral and a rock
Sedbober [7]

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.
