The last one. Opposites attract while similar ones repulse each other so all forces are pushing them apart

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete

Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}$

$a=10\ m/s^2$

We know that, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}$

$a=1.02\ g$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize som

babymother [125]

Answer:

860.6 years.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Initial detector activity = 370000 alpha decays per second

Final detector activity = 93000 alpha decays per second

Formula for time to change in activity is given by the following relation;

$t_{93000} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{A}{A_0} }{\lambda} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{93000}{370000} }{5.08 \times 10^{-11}} = 2.72 \times 10^{10} \, seconds$

t₉₃₀₀₀ = 2.72 × 10¹⁰ seconds = 860.6 years.

A ball with a mass of 5.0 g is moving at a speed of 2.0 m/s. Would doubling the mass or doubling the speed have a greater effect

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is K.E1/2mv2 so that means it is directly proportional to mass and velocity.

You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at constant speed. You decide to turn the crate on end, reducing by half the sur

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

D. Half as great

Explanation:

Since we know that the friction force between the surface of crate and ground is given as

$F_f = \mu F_n$

so here we know that

$\mu$ = friction coefficient between two surfaces which depends on the effective contact area between two surfaces

$F_n$ = normal force due to the object

So when we turn the object on another side such that the surface area is half then the friction coefficient will become also half

So here the friction force will also reduce to half

so correct answer will be

D. Half as great
