Answer: reduced by 1/4

Explanation:

The force will be reduced by 1/4. Try plugging in 2r, then squaring it. You will get 4r^2, which is essentially dividing the force by 4

How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force causing it. F = ma is actually a vector equation in which f and a are both vectors and m is a scalar constant.

The energies of electrons are said to be quantized. Explain what this means. please explain.

sleet_krkn [62]

To move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy. Electrons are said to be quantized because they need a quantum of energy to move to a different sublevel. ... When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels.

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) $v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o$ towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

velocity of the river due to east = $v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.$
velocity of the boat due to the north = $v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.$

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are $90^o$

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

$\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.$

Let $\theta$ be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore. $\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o$

part (b)

Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river. $\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s$

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river $\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m$

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∧·······∵·······∴·······Hello :D········∴·······∵·······∧

How is Mass or volume change affect density?: Density is an intensive property of the material or substance and depends upon the relationship between the mass and volume. Unless the mass changes in relation to the volume, the density will not change.

Are mass and volume related?: Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while volume is how much space it takes up.We can say that the volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass. As the volume increases the mass of the object increases in direct proportion.

How can density of an object be determined?: If the mass of an object increases then its density increases because density is directly proportional to mass.
