true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

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.

schepotkina [342]
The radius of the circular path is 1.5 m.

The circumference is then
1.5\ m*2\pi=3\pi\ m

The ball moves 3π m every 2.2 s, so the speed is
\frac{3\pi\ m}{2.2\ s}\approx 4.3\ m/s

A person drops a stone down a well and hears the echo 8.9 s later. if it takes 0.9 s for the echo to travel up the well, approxi
Temka [501]

Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2

h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m

Chromatic aberration comes from the fact that different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds through the material of
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

 y_red / y_blue = 1.11

Explanation:

Let's use the constructor equation to find the image for each wavelength

         1 /f = 1 /o + 1 /i

Where f is the focal length, or the distance to the object and i the distance to the image

Red light

           1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / f_red - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / 19.57 - 1/30

           1 / i_red = 1,776 10-2

           i_red = 56.29 cm

Blue light

            1 / i_blue = 1 / f_blue - 1 / o

            1 / i_blue = 1 / 18.87 - 1/30

            1 / i_blue = 1,966 10-2

            i_blue = 50.863 cm

Now let's use the magnification ratio

             m = y ’/ h = - i / o

             y ’= - h i / o

Red Light

            y_red ’= - 5 56.29 / 30

            y_red ’= - 9.3816 cm

Light blue

            y_blue ’= 5 50,863 / 30

            y_blue ’= - 8.47716 cm

The ratio of the height of the two images is

            y_red ’/ y_blue’ = 9.3816 / 8.47716

            y_red / y_blue = 1,107

            y_red / y_blue = 1.11

An unstable nucleus which has a tendency to spontaneously change its form with the emission of high-energy particles or photons
Pepsi [2]

Answer:Radioactive

Explanation:

The radioactive nucleus is the one which does not has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus in a stable state and thus radiates either electron or proton to become a stable element.

A radioactive element is formed when after billions of years such as uranium and thorium. The stability of the nucleus depends upon the opposition of attractive and repulsive force among the nucleus.
