The source of the centripetal force that arises when a runner rounds a curve on a track is _____.

2 answers:

5 0

while taking a turn on a track, the track provides the frictional force acting towards the center of the curve. we know that to move in a curve, centripetal force is required. here since the frictional force acts towards the center, it provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. hence the correct choice is

friction

It's actually Friction.

I just did the test and got it right.

What are two things that determine our traits? If someone could answer asap, that would be awesome!

zepelin [54]

In thinking about inherited traits, geneticists use two important words: genotype and phenotype. Genotype refers to the genes an organism inherits from its parents and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism: how it develops, looks, reacts and behaves. An inherited trait refers to a phenotypic characteristic, for example flower color, length of gestation or ability to metabolize cellulose. All traits have a genetic basis.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)
