Well let's see: Centripetal force = (speed²) / (radius of the circle)

So when there's a centripetal force driving an object in a circular path, the square of the object's speed is directly proportional to the force, and the radius of the circle is inversely proportional to the force.

So this means that . . .

-- if the centripetal force increases, then the object can whiz around a smaller circle at the same speed, and

-- if the centripetal force decreases, then the object will move out to a bigger circle at the same speed.

A chemical equation lists NaHCO3(s) as a reactant. What does (s) indicate?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The (s) indicates that the state of matter for NaHCO3 is solid.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction is written, the state of matter for each components of the reactants and products are mentioned in brackets along with their names or formulas.

For example, NaHCO3 has (s) mentioned in the brackets. The s shows that the state of matter for NaHCO3. (l) represents liquid format. (g) represents that the state of matter is gas.

A firefighter of mass 81 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s

natima [27]

Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

$F_k=567N$

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

$F=m*a$
