The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.

GalinKa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This can be explained as in Rutherford's model of atom the electrons orbits the nucleus which means that they will travel around the nucleus with some velocity and hence radiate electromagnetic waves which results in the loss of energy due to which the electron keeps coming closer and eventually falls into the nucleus.

But Bohr came up with a better explanation as according to the Bohr's atomic model, electrons stay fixed in orbit with certain energy in different shells around the nucleus and can only jump from an energy level to another if that specific amount of energy is supplied to it.

This model is based on the quantization of energy thus giving an explanation why electrons do not fall into the nucleus of an atom.

while racing on a flat track, a car rounds a curve of 28m radius and instantaneously experiences a centripetal acceleration of 1
liubo4ka [24]
When a body strictly moves on a curve, it's velocity at a point is tangential to the curve at that point.

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that a body experiences by the virtue of change in it's tangential velocity. It is directed towards the centre and mathematically is v^2/R where v is the speed at the instant.

So, 18 = v^2/R
v^2 = 504
v = 6√14
