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 :)

Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation:  The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Vilka [71]
Well, I may not know the exact answer, but I can confirm because of mass. The more mass an object has, the less control you have on it, so it can't be stopped easily. Let's take a small rock and a boulder for example. When a small rock rolls on the ground, it can easily be stopped by your hand or foot. But when you have to deal with an enormous boulder, you can't easily stop it with one just person. You'll need more people. So the answer is because the smaller vehicle has a lesser mass than the larger vehicle. (if you are looking for the answer, just look at the end.

MrMuchimi
<span>The force will be zero if the wagons are moving at a constant speed (i.e. not accelerating), as there is no frictional force to overcome. If the wagons are accelerating, the force will be proportional to the acceleration, and 20% of the force applied by A.</span>

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12m/s from the edge of a cliff 70 m high (a) How much later it reaches the b
jonny [76]

Answer

given,

vertical speed of stone,v = 12 m/s

height of the cliff = 70 m

a) time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom of the cliff

We know that,

S = u t + 1/2 a t²

- 70 = 12 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t²

4.9 t² - 12 t - 70 = 0  

solving the equation

t = 5.2 s (neglecting the negative value)

b) again using equation of motion

   v = u + a t

   v = 12 - 9.8 x 5.2

  v = -38.96 m/s

ignoring the negative sign

magnitude of velocity is equal to 38.96 m/s

c) total distance travel by the stone

  vertical distance covered by the stone

 v² = u² + 2 g h

 0 = 12² - 2 x 9.8 x h

 h = 7.34 m

to reach the stone to the same level distance travel be doubled.

Total distance travel by the stone

H = h + h + 70

H = 7.34 x 2 + 70

H = 84.7 m.
