Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45m diameter

semicircles. A greyhound can run around these turns at a constant speed of 16m/s .part a: What is its acceleration in m/s2?partb: What is its acceleration in units of g ?

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

The Doppler shift can be observed when ____________. Check all that apply. Group of answer choices the source of sound moves tow
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the source of sound moves towards an observe

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is related to waves such as sound or light. the effect causes an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound light or other waves when the souces either move towards or away from the observer. For example the siren of the train to a person on the platform, the redshift seen by astronomers.

Therefore, The Doppler shift can be observed when the source of sound moves towards an observer From a place closer to the observer than the last wave's crest, each consecutive wave crest is sent. Each wave therefore, takes a little less time than the preceding wave to reach the observer.

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and energy transmission?.
Tomtit [17]

Answer: Wavelength is related to light and also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and the higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy. The energy equation is E = hν.

THIS IS A SCIENCE QUESTION IF THESE ARNT ANSWERED IM GOING TO FAIL SCIENCE
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1.a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

2.The Eye of a Hurricane. The eye is the region at the center of the hurricane, which is roughly circular in shape and usually has calm weather.

3.Hurricanes form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave—a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.  

4.When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

5.a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.

6.A hurricane dies down when it loses its energy source, which is usually warm water at the surface of the ocean.

7.Hurricane Katrina was so destructive because of a bunch of events that happened in just the right way. First, understand that Katrina was at one point a Category 5 storm and was predicted to hit New Orleans as a Category 4. It weakened to a Cat 3 and veered ever so slightly to the east, making the damage far less than it could have been.
