A small car of mass m and a large car of mass 4m drive along a highway at constant speed. they approach a curve of radius r. bot

h cars maintain the same acceleration a as they travel around the curve. how does the speed of the small car vs compare to the speed of the large car vl as they round the curve? hints

Answer:

Both speeds are equals ⇒ V_{S}=V_{L}

Explanation:

We know that the small car has mass ''m'' and the large car has mass ''4m''.

We also know that they approach a curve of radius ''r''.

Both cars maintain the same acceleration as they travel around the curve.

The centripetal acceleration in a curve has the following equation :

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}  (I)

Where ''a_{c}'' is centripetal acceleration

Where ''V'' is the tangential speed and where ''r'' is the radius of the curve.

If we use the equation (I) to find V, we will find that the speed depends of the centripetal acceleration and the radius of the curve.

It doesn't depend of the mass. Therefore, the small car and the large car will have the same speed while they are travelling around the curve ⇒

V_{S}=V_{L}

Answer:

R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The important concept of mass center defined by

         R_cm = 1 / M   ∑  x_i m_i

where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body

Let's apply this expression to our case.

Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,

       R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)

the total mass is

      M = m_earth + m_moon

     

the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center

let's calculate

      M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²

      M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg

we substitute

      R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )

      R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.
