The characteristics of the velocity vector used to find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:

Acceleration is towards the center of the circle

The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.

Newton's Second Law establishes a relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies.

<h3>Centripetal acceleration. </h3>

In the case of circular motion there is a constant change in the direction of the velocity vector, even when its module remains constant, this change in direction points towards the center of the circle, so that the module is constant.

They indicate that the satellite is moving counterclockwise, therefore the speed must go to the left (counterclockwise) tangential to the circle.

In conclusion using the characteristics of the velocity vector we can find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:

Acceleration is towards the center of the circle

The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.

Unlike most real bulbs, the resistances of the bulbs in the questions below do not change as the current through them changes. A

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.

Which of the statements best describes density?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole. Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter. The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter. I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.

What is Newton’s second law of motion

ddd [48]

"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"<em>F = m·A.</em> The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
