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 :)

Why is it important to include variety in your workouts
grigory [225]

Explanation:

Variety in to an exercise program allows the body to adapt to many demands, from high intensity exercise to slow, steady state exercise. Variety is important in a fitness program because it allows for your body to be challenged on a consistent basis and to overcome a plateau.

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

Q011) The Doppler effect a. occurs when the frequency of sound waves received is lower if the wave source is moving toward you t
inn [45]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.

It occurs for both light and sound.  

So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.

-. A 2kg cart moving to the right at 5m/s collides with an 8kg cart at rest. As a
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{2*5+8*0}{2+8}=\frac{10}{10}=1

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
