Which of the following is a definition of acceleration? *

Physics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

jonny [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.

How does critical mass play a role in nuclear reactions?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

C.It is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fission reaction.

Explanation;

-A critical mass is the smallest or the minimum amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. A critical mass must be achieved in order for the chain reaction to continue and release the atomic energy. A critical mass is needed for both a nuclear reactor and an atomic or hydrogen bomb.

-The critical mass of a fissionable material depends upon its nuclear properties (specifically, the nuclear fission cross section), its density, its shape, its enrichment, its purity, its temperature, and its surroundings.

Three capacitors, C1 = 2 μF, C2 = 4 μF, C3 = 4 μF, are connected in series Determine the capacitance of a single capacitor that
julsineya [31]

Answer:

1 μF

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question, all we need to do is to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors. This can be obtained as illustrated below.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Capacitor 1 (C₁) = 2 μF

Capacitor 2 (C₂) = 4 μF

Capacitor 3 (C₃) = 4 μF

Equivalent capacitance (Cₑq) =?

Cₑq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

Cₑq = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4

Cₑq = (2 + 1 + 1)/4

Cₑq = 4/4

Cₑq = 1 μF

Thus, the answer to the question is 1 μF

The magnetic field at the centre of a toroid is 2.2-mT. If the toroid carries a current of 9.6 A and has 6.000 turns, what is th
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Radius, r = 0.00523 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B=2\ mT=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ T

Current in the toroid, I = 9.6 A

Number of turns, N = 6

We need to find the radius of the toroid. The magnetic field at the center of the toroid is given by :                  

B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi r}

r=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi B}  

r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6\times 9.6}{2.2\pi \times 2\times 10^{-3}}  

r = 0.00523 m

or

r=5.23\times 10^{-3}\ m

So, the radius of the toroid is 0.00523 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
