Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%

A 17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 J. How high is the shelf? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
Free_Kalibri [48]
Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

Answer:

Contemporary light microscopes are able to magnify objects up to about a thousand times. Since most cells are between 1 and 100 μm in diameter, they can be observed by light microscopy, as can some of the larger subcellular organelles, such as nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

A cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), is called an organism. Thus, cells are the basic building blocks of all organisms.

Cells have many structures inside of them called organelles. These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA.

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.

Consider a particle with unit charge q, and mass m, in a constant magnetic field B directed along the positive z–axis. The parti
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Explanation:

Magnetic field is along z axis while velocity is in x-z plane

so we will have

F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

so here we can say

F = q(u\hat i + w\hat k) \times (B \hat k)

so we will have

F = quB(-\hat j)

so here the net force on the charge is perpendicular to its x directional velocity along - Y direction

So due to this component of motion it will move along a circle while other component of the motion will remain uniform always

So here it is combination of two parts

1) Uniform circular motion

2) Uniform motion

So we can say that it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Which observational tool helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the existence of the cosmic microwave backgr
Softa [21]
<span>In 1964, while experimenting with the Holmdel Horn Antenna, which was used as a radio telescope, Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave background radiation that exists universally. The Holmdel Horn Antenna was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" as opposed to the "Steady State Theory".</span>
