Answer:

11789 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force that acted on the car can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

Where:

F is the centripetal force.

m is the mass.

v is the velocity.

r is the radius.

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the centripetal force as follow:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

F = mv²/r

F = 1270 × 11.8² / 15

F = 1270 × 139.24 / 15

F = 176834.8 / 15

F = 11789 N

Therefore, the centripetal force that acted on the car is 11789 N

All of the following are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except it
tankabanditka [31]
The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties. 
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis. 

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
Arisa [49]
Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

22.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

x = 3 m

k = 5\:\text{N/m}

The spring potential energy PE_s is

PE_s = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(5\:\text{N/m})(3\:\text{m})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=22.5\:\text{J}

A ship maneuvers to within 2.46×10³ m of an island’s 1.80 × 10³ m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.1
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the first ship from the mountain d=2.46\times10^{3}\ m

Height of islandh=1.80\times10^{3}\ m

Distance of the enemy ship from the mountain d'=6.10\times10^{2}\ m

Initial velocity v=2.55\times10^{2}\ m/s

Angle = 74.9°

We need to calculate the horizontal component of initial velocity

Using formula of horizontal component

v_{x}=v\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{x}=2.55\times10^{2}\cos74.9

v_{x}=66.42\ m/s

We need to calculate the vertical component of initial velocity

Using formula of vertical component

v_{y}=v\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{y}=2.55\times10^{2}\sin74.9

v_{y}=246.19\ m/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v_{x}}

t=\dfrac{2.46\times10^{3}}{66.42}

t=37.03\ sec

We need to calculate the height of the shell on reaching the mountain

Using equation of motion

H= v_{y}t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value in the equation

H=246.19\times37.03-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(37.03)^2

H=2397.4\ m

We need to calculate the distance close to the peak

Using formula of distance

H'=H-h

Put the value into the formula

H'=2397.4-1800

H'=597.4\ m

Hence, The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.
