What direction does centripetal acceleration point?

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)

Which atmospheric condition is most likely responsible for the wind blowing the clouds from the sea towards the land?

lions [1.4K]

Uneven heating of land and sea causes warm air over land to rise up, creating a low pressure zone. So wind blows in from the sea to fill this low pressure zone

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the rocket is $v_i = 100 m/s$

The speed of the rocket engine sound is $V$

The final speed of the rocket is $v_f = 200 \ m/s$

The speed of the sound at $v_f$ would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

A clear example when lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

Three equal negative point charges are placed at three of the corners of a square of side d. What is the magnitude of the net el

Rina8888 [55]

this may help you
As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄
and since k = 8.99e9N·m²/C²,
E = 1.789e10N·m²/C² * Q / d²
