Which of the following statements best describes the balls motion ?

Which of the following are true about centripetal force? Check all that apply. A. Without centripetal force, an object cannot ac

Katyanochek1 [597]

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).

How many neutrons does element x have if it's atomic number is 27 and it's mass number is 74

Makovka662 [10]

Atomic number=Proton count

Atomic mass=Proton count+ neutron count

Neuton Count=Atomic mass-Proton count

Proton count=Atomic number=27

Mass number=74

Neuton count= 74-27=47

A free positive charge released in an electric field will:

choli [55]

Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.

5. How much time does it take for a bird flying at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour to travel a

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

$40h$

Explanation:

Use the velocity formula to solve

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

In this question, you are given velocity $v = 45km/h$ , and you are given a distance, $d = 1800km$ . Time in this question is what you'll need to find.

Start by rearranging the velocity formula, to isolate for t.

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Start by multiplying both sides by t

$v(t) = \frac{d}{t}(t)\\\\vt = d$

Then divide both sides by v.

$vt\frac{1}{v} = d/v\\ \\t = \frac{d}{v}$

Now that you've isolated for time, sub in your values and calculate.

$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{1800km}{45km/h} = 40 h$

A wrench is accidentally dropped from the top of a mast on a sailboat. Will the wrench hit at the same place on the deck whether

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Yes, because the wrench is moving at the same speed as the sailboat.

The main difference is that a person on the ground would see the wrench moving diagonally, while a person on the boat would see the wrench falling straight down,

This difference in paths lead to the relativistic change in lengths.
