A car drives toward the right over the top of a hill, as shown below. An illustration of car at the top of a hill pointing right
and looking at the side of the car. The is a vector up labeled Z, a vector down labeled X, a vector left labeled Y and a vector right labeled W. Which arrow represents the centripetal acceleration? W X Y Z
2 answers:
Answer: X
Explanation:
This situation can be illustrated as a car in circular motion (image attached).
In circular motion the acceleration vector is always directed toward the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).
So, in this case the arrow labeled X is the only that points toward the center, hence it represents the car's centripetal acceleration

Answer:
3A is the larger of the two currents.
Explanation:
Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂
given:
Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T
Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m
Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1
Now, the magnitude of a magnetic field at a distance 'R' due to the current 'I' is given as
Where is the magnitude constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m
Thus, the magnitude of a magnetic field due to I₁ will be
given,
B = B₁ - B₂ (since both the currents are in the same direction and parallel)
substituting the values of B, B₁ and B₂
we get
4.0×10⁻⁶T = -
or
4.0×10⁻⁶T =

⇒
substituting the values in the above equation we get
4.0×10⁻⁶T =
⇒

⇒
⇒
Hence, the larger of the two currents is 3A
Answer:
I = 2 kgm^2
Explanation:
In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:
(1)
I: moment of inertia of the door
α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2
τ: torque exerted on the door
You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:
(2)
F: force = 5.00 N
d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m
You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:
Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:
The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
Answer:
E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.
Explanation:
Kepler's laws establish that:
All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).
A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).
The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).
Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.
Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.
However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)
In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).
Therefore, option A and B can not be true.
In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
