The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.
