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

Physics

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 :)

A car is traveling with a velocity of 5.5 m/s and has a mass of 1200 kg. What is the kinetic energy?!
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>18150 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the Mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1200 \times  {5.5}^{2}  \\  = 600 \times 30.25

We have the final answer as

<h3>18150 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
FromTheMoon [43]

Water is a very unique substance because it can exist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) within the normal temperature ranges found on Earth. When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.27

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

F_k=\mu_k N

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, we calculate \mu_k:

\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27
