An object travels with a constant speed in a circular path. The net force on the object is
1 answer:
Answer:
toward the center
Explanation:
Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:
1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force
2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation
where m is the mass of the object.
In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).
So, the correct answer is
toward the center

Answer:
B.) by interfering with sound waves
Explanation:
As we know that the interference of sound waves is of two types
1). constructive interference
2). destructive interference
now we know that constructive interference means the resultant intensity will be more than the intensity of interfering waves as here two waves are in same phase.
In destructive interference the resultant of two waves is given by the minimum resultant of the intensity as here the phase of two waves are opposite to each other.
So we will say that
here in case of noise cancelling headphones we know that the phase of noise is always made in opposite phase with the sound which is used to cancelled the noise.
This will reduce the noise and we will get a clear sound
