Answer:

hyoid bone

Explanation:

Woodpeckers have a special bone that acts like a seat-belt for its skull. It's called the hyoid bone, and it wraps all the way around a woodpecker's skull. Every time the bird pecks, the hyoid acts like a seat-belt for the bird's skull and the delicate brain it protects.

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with

Lisa [10]

Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 80.0 nC. The plates are in va

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10000 V

0.00225988700565 m²

$8\times 10^{-12}\ F$

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $4\times 10^6\ V/m$

d = Gap = 2.5 mm

Q = Charge = 80 nC

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Potential difference is given by

$V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 10^6\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow V=10000\ V$

The potential difference between the plates is 10000 V

Area is given by

$A=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0E}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow A=0.00225988700565\ m^2$

The area of the plate is 0.00225988700565 m²

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.00225988700565}{2.5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=8\times 10^{-12}\ F$

The capacitance is $8\times 10^{-12}\ F$

A test car starts from rest on a horizontal circular track of 115-m radius and increases its speed at a uniform rate to reach 90

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a= 3.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

magnitude of total acceleration = sqrt{radial acceleration^2+tangential acceleration^2}.

we know that tangential acceleration a_t= change in velocity /time taken

now 90 km/h = 25 m/s

a_t = 25/17 = 1.47 m/s^2.

radial acceleration a_r = v^2/r

v= a_t×t = 1.47×13 = 19.11 m/s

a_r = 19.11^2/115= 3.175

now,

$a= \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$a= \sqrt{1.47^2+3.175^2}$

a= 3.49 m/s^2

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
