Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in the xy plane are: q1 = +3.3 µc, x1 = 3.5 cm, y1 = 0.50 cm, an
Readme [11.4K]
1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges q_1 and q_2, which is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get 
F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}  \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.

Which method involves using tools to control invasive species?
vitfil [10]

Answer;

Mechanical control

Explanation;

-Invasive species may cause environmental harm, economic harm, or impact human health. A key factor that makes many species invasive is a lack of predators in the new environment.

-Mechanical control usually refers to the mowing or mechanical cutting of an invasive plant infestation to limit seed production. With mowing, timing is essential. Invasive plants must be removed before the plants go to seed in order to be an effective method of control. Plants should be cut as close to the ground as possible and may have to be treated more than once in a growing season to achieve desired results.

Using the equation for Impact, can you explain the following:
Anni [7]

Explanation:

Equation for Impact

FΔt = ΔP,

F = force

Δt  = Impact of time

ΔP = Change in momentum

Car steering is engineered to fail in order to maximize the time of contact and hence reduce the initial impact and mitigate the damage incurred.

Road guard railing crumple on contact to maximize impact time and hence reduce impact intensity and mitigate damage.

Road safety containers are loaded with liquid or sand as they improve the period of impact.
