To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to centripetal acceleration. Normal acceleration or centripetal acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the velocity vector. It is the only type of acceleration present in the uniform circular motion. Its mathematical formula is given by

a = \frac{v^2}{r }

Here,

v = Tangential velocity

r = Radius

Our values are,

v = 16m/s

r = \frac{45m}{2} = 22.5

PART A) Using the previous expression the acceleration will be

a= \frac{16^2}{22.5 }

a= 11.37 m/s^2

PART B) In the case of g units, we know that

9.8m/s^2 = 1g

Then performing the conversion we have to

a = 11.37m/s^2(\frac{1g}{9.8m/s^2})

a = 1.16g

Which of the following terms refers to the shortest length from a starting
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A) Distance

Explanation:

The shortest distance that is represented as the measurement from one point to another is called distance.

It should not be confused with displacement as it represents the sum of the distances travelled by a body or person.

Which provides the best analogy for an electron in an atomic orbital?
Svetllana [295]
<h2>Answer: a bee trying to escape from a closed jar  </h2>

In an atom the electrons will occupy orbitals so that their energy is as small as possible. That is why the orbitals are ordered based on their energy level in an increasing order, which is associated with a particular range of energy based on its distance from the atom nucleus.

In this sense, an electron "jumps" from one level to another in the atom in the same way a bee tries to escape from a closed jar.

What is the resistance of a 3.5 m copper wire (Rho= 1.7x10-8 Ohm·m) that 1 point
VikaD [51]

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Given :

l=3.5 m

A=5.26*10^{-6} m^{2}

p=1.7*10^{-8}  ohm.m

Resistance can be calculated as :

R=p\frac{l}{A} \\R=1.7*10^{-8} \frac{3.5}{5.26*10^{-6} }

R=\frac{5.95*10^{-2} }{5.26} \\R=1.13*10^{-2}

Resistance of the wire will be 1.1×10^{-2} ohms

Option D is correct

contractor will use a package emulsion having a specific gravity of 1.25 and relative bulk strength of 130 to open an excavation
tester [92]

Answer:

The burden distance is 7 ft

Solution:

As per the question:

Specific gravity of package emulsion, SG_{E} = 1.25

Specific gravity of diabase rock, SG_{R} = 2.76

Diameter of the packaged sticks, d = 3 in

Now,

To calculate the first trail shot burden distance, B:

B = [\frac{2SG_{E}}{SG_{R}} + 1.5]\times d

B = [\frac{2\times 1.25}{2.76} + 1.5]\times 3 = 7.22

B = 7 ft
