Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration due to the movement of an object in a uniform circular motion. The acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle.

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:

a = v² / r; where v is the speed of the object and r is the radius of curvature (distance from object ot the center of circle).

Let us assume the car has a velocity of v m/s. For the curve with radius of curvature r:

a₁ = v² / r

For the curve with radius of curvature r = 2r:

a₂ = v² / 2r = (1/2)a₁

Therefore the centripetal acceleration is greater in the curve with radius pf curvature r and smaller in the curve with twice the radius of curvature of the other.

Answer:

8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

There are 100 cm in 1 m, and 60 s in 1 min.

300 cm/min² × (1 m / 100 cm) × (1 min / 60 s)² = 8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

Explain the difference between a government Law and a Law of Science
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

U.S. Federal Government Law addresses government interactions on a national scale, and is largely composed of administrative law and constitutional law. ... State law also establishes and regulates local government for cities, towns, counties, and other communities.In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.
