An ostrich lays the largest bird egg. A typical diameter for an ostrich egg at its widest part (diameter) is 12 cm (0.12 m). Sup

pose an egg of this size rolls
down a slope so that the centripetal acceleration of the shell at its widest part is 0.28 m/s2. What is the tangential speed of that part of the shell?

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of the tangential speed and the

radius of the shell.

The tangential speed of the part of the shell is approximately <u>0.12961 m/s</u>

Reasons;

The widest diameter of the egg, d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The given centripetal acceleration, a_c = 0.28 m/s²

Required:

The tangential speed of the bird.

Solution;

\displaystyle Centripetal \ acceleration, \ a_c = \mathbf{\frac{v^2}{r}}

Where;

\displaystyle r = The \ radius \ of \ the \ egg \ shell = \frac{d}{2}

v = The tangential speed

Which gives;

\displaystyle r = \frac{0.12}{2} = 0.06

\displaystyle 0.28 \, m/s^2 = \frac{v^2}{0.06 \, m}

v² = 0.28 m/s² × 0.06 m = 0.0168 m²/s²

v = √(0.0168 m²/s²) ≈ 0.12961 m/s

The tangential speed, v = <u>0.12961 m/s</u>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The extrapolated temperature is used to define the maximum temperature of the mixture relatively than the highest recorded temperature in which the conclusion will effect in a higher specific heat value. Heat is bound to escape from whatever apparatus is using, therefore it is needed to account for the loss of the heat that does not go into increasing the temperature of the mixture.

What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? On left, a purple circle labeled Br
blondinia [14]

Answer:

I believe the answer is Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons.

Explanation:

valence electrons are the outermost shell, so when you go through keeping that in mind it helps you find the right answer

The pressure, p, of water (in pounds per square foot) at a depth of d feet below the surface is given by the formula p=15+15/33d
Viefleur [7K]
The pressure of the water on the diver is given in an expression written as:

<span>p=15+15/33d

where p is the pressure and d is the distance of the diver </span><span>below the surface.

The pressure is calculated as follows:

</span>p=15+15/33(100) = 15.00  pounds per square feet

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
