Physics

Pepsi [2]3 years ago

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

F=ma

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

A circular cylinder has a diameter of 3.0 cm and a mass of 25 g. It floats in water with its long axis perpendicular to the wate
Vilka [71]

Answer:

   f = 5.3 Hz

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's find the equation that describes the process, using Newton's second law

        ∑ F = ma

where the acceleration is

         a = \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

        B- W = m \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

To solve this problem we create a change in the reference system, we place the zero at the equilibrium point

           B = W

In this frame of reference, the variable y'  when it is oscillating is positive and negative, therefore Newton's equation remains

         B’= m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

           

the thrust is given by the Archimedes relation

         B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

     

the volume is

        V = π r² y'

     

we substitute

          - ρ_liquid g π r² y’ = m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

          \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2} + \rho_liquid \ g \ \pi  r^2/m ) y' \ =0

this differential equation has a solution of type

         y = A cos (wt + Ф)

where

         w² = ρ_liquid g π r² /m

angular velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         

we substitute

          4π² f² = ρ_liquid g π r² / m

          f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \ \sqrt{ \frac{ \rho_{liquid} \  \pi  r^2 \ g}{m } }

calculate

         f = \frac{1}{2 \pi }  \sqrt{ \frac{ 1000 \ \pi  \ 0.03^2 \ 9.8 }{0.025}  }

         f = 5.3 Hz

a 4kg box is resting on top of a shelf that is 2m high, what is the boxs gravitational potential relative to the floor​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.
