The California sea lion is capable of making extremely fast, tight turns while swimming underwater. In one study, scientists obs

erved a sea lion making a circular turn with a radius of 0.37 m while swimming at 4.0 m/s.
What is the sea lion's centripetal acceleration, in units of g?

What percentage is this acceleration of that of an F-15 fighter jet's maximum centripetal acceleration of 9g?

Answer:

Acceleration of Sea Lion is 4.41 g

This is 49% of maximum jet acceleration given as a = 9g

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the circular loop is given as

R = 0.37 m

The speed of the fish is given as

v = 4 m/s

Now the centripetal acceleration of the sea lion is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{4^2}{0.37}

a_c = 43.2 m/s^2

as we know that

g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we have

a = 4.41 g

Now Percentage of this acceleration wrt maximum jet acceleration is given as

P = \frac{4.41 g}{9g} \times 100

P = 49%

The answer is Plant A got sufficient water to produce chlorophyll.  Tim kept two identical green plants in his garden and labeled them A and B. He watered plant A every day and plant B once a month. After a month, the leaves of plant A remained green but the leaves of plant B turned yellow.  The best statement that explains the difference in color is that Plant A got sufficient water to produce chlorophyll.

Waves transfer heat by the process of
Taya2010 [7]
There are three basic ways in which heat is transferred. In fluids, heat is often transferred by convection, in which the motion of the fluid itself carries heat from one place to another. Another way to transfer heat is by conduction, which does not involve any motion of a substance, but rather is a transfer of energy within a substance (or between substances in contact). The third way to transfer energy is by radiation, which involves absorbing or giving off electromagnetic waves.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The average thickness, in centimeters, of a page in this book, can be found by dividing 3.0 cm by 764.

The average thickness, rounded to the proper number of sig figs, is 0.004 cm.
