true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.
nalin [4]
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

Sammy feels an ocean breeze as he plays volleyball at the beach. Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the
DedPeter [7]

The heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises and the cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air. The correct answer is option A

There will be heat transfer from a region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature. But in the case of land and sea breeze, the transfer of heat are the result of convectional current in nature. Because the land is a better absorber of heat and also has a lower specific heat capacity compare to sea, during the day, the heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises.

The cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air.

Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the day ? It is because air over the beach heats up, rises and is replaced by ocean air.

Therefore, option A is correct

wel

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}

normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explain why ionic compounds are neutral even though they are made up of charged particles
Lelechka [254]
Ionic compounds are made up of two charged species, a cation (+) and an anion (–).

The charges must balance out to zero for a stable ionic compound, because ionic bonds are formed between two charged species. They form in ratios according to their charges to balance out.

You are heading toward an island in your speed boat when you see a friend standing on the shore of the island. You sound the boa
monitta

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

The Wavelength will be higher than what will be heard without any motion on the boat due to the Doppler Effect, which is the change in the frequency of a sound wave whenever there's a relative motion between the source of the wave and observer. The amount of shift in frequency depends on the speed of the source towards the observer; the higher the velocity of the source, the higher the shift.
