The direction of centripetal force when applied to an object is perpendicular to the object's motion.

Centripetal force, or even net force, will always be in the direction of acceleration. For example, the earth is always accelerating towards the sun. The acceleration vector for planet earth is always in the direction of the sun and the velocity is perpendicular to that, hence why we are not getting closer to the sun. Hope this helps.

a hiker walks 11km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the approximate displacement of the hike
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

d=11\sqrt2\ km

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement in North = 11 km

Displacement in East = 11 km

We need to find the approximate displacement of the hiker from the camp. It can be calculated by resultant of two displacement as follows :

d=\sqrt{11^2+11^2}\\\\= 11\sqrt2\ km

Hence, the approximate displacement of the hiker from the camp is 11\sqrt2\ km.

A 5 cm spring is suspended with a mass of 1 g attached to it which extends the spring by 3.2 cm. The same spring is placed on a
notsponge [240]

First, we need to find the spring constant

Force of gravity = force of tension from spring

mg = kx

(1x10^-3)(9.8) = k (3.2x10^-2)

k = .30625

Now we can look at the other situation

Since the spring was moved 0.01 meters, we can find the force

F = kx = (.01)(.30625) = .0030625 N

Now we can set the electric force equal to the force of the beads

kq^2/r^2 = .0030625 N

q = 292 microCoulombs

What is the formula of two vectors which are mutually perpendicular? ​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a .(b+c) = a.b+a.c

Explanation:

As the three vectors are perpendicular to each other, one of them must lie perpendicular to the plane containing the other two vectors…say a lies perpendicular to the plane of b and c.(b + c )gives another vector which lies in same plane of c and b .
