Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

A hummingbird flies forward and backward. Its motion is shown on the above graph of horizontal Position and

harina [27]

Answer:

The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hummingbird flies forward and backward.

According to figure,

We know that,

The total distance is equal to the sum of all distance.

Forward direction is positive and backward direction is negative.

We need to calculate the hummingbird travels the total distance

Using figure,

$D=d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}+d_{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=6+(-4)+2+6$

$D=10\ m$

Hence, The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m.

At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large "20-G" centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations ("hypergravit

Over [174]

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation $a=v^2/r$

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

$v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s$
