Centripetal force on an object in circular motion is always directed in which direction?

Physics
1 answer:
r-ruslan [8.4K]3 years ago
3 0
The centripetal force<span> is the resultant </span>force<span> that causes this acceleration, and it is </span>always directed<span> towards the center of the </span>circle<span>. Without the resultant </span>centripetal force<span>, an </span>object<span> would travel at a constant velocity (constant speed and </span>direction<span>).

So the correct answer would be A : Toward the center of the circle. 

Hope this helps :)

Readme [11.4K]
A is 588N.

b) When she reaches her terminal speed, 10 seconds into the dive, she is no longer accelerating, so the net force on her is zero.
Think of it this way: If the net force were not zero she would continue to accelerate.

c) She is no longer accelerating.
Her acceleration is zero.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase

the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant  a direction opposite to the angular velocity

Explanation:

Acceleration and angular velocity are related to linear

           v = w xr

            a = αx r

The bold letters indicate vectors and the cross is a vector product, therefore if

we can see that the relationship between linear and angular variables is direct

therefore in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase as well as their linear counterparts

in the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant as the linear acceleration and must have a direction opposite to the angular velocity

gold has a density of 19.32g/cm^3. aluminum has a density of 2.7g/cm^3. which is heavier: 1g of gold or 1 g of aluminum? explain
DENIUS [597]
Gold is much heavier because it has a greater density, meaning the atoms are more closely packed. Also, the individual atoms are heavy as well making 1g of gold heavier than 1g of aluminum.
