Which describes acceleration involving only a change in direction?

Viefleur [7K]

If we consider any system moving with u<span>niform circular motion we can notice that the MAGNITUDE of the accelaration remains constant. However, there is a change in the direction of the acceleration at every instant of time .

As the object moves through the circle the acceleration changes its direction always pointing to the center of the circle.</span>

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.

In the above case, the silk undergoes negative electrification.

Now, when the positively charged glass rod is touched on the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope, the electrons shifts towards rod, hence amount of charge on gold leaves decreases and the divergence between the gold leaves decreases as unlike charges attract each other.

Hence, the divergence decreases when a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of negatively charged electroscope.

According to the momentum principle, the change in momentum of an object equals the impulse, which depends on______

3241004551 [841]

Answer: The momentum principle depends on MASS and VELOCITY.

Explanation:

The momentum principle states that net force changes the the momentum of an object where momentum is the product of the MASS of the body and it's VELOCITY.

Thus, momentum = mass(kg) ×velocity( m/s)= kgm/s ( derived unit)

Also to determine the rate of change of momentum;

Mass=m, initial velocity =u, final velocity = V and time =t

Initial momentum = mu

Final momentum = mv

Change in momentum = mv - mu

= m( v- u)

Rate of change of momentum=

m( v -u)/t --> equation 1

But V = u + at

Hence, a = v -u/t

Substitute for v -u/ t in equation 1

F = Kma, where k is constant and has the value of 1.

Therefore F = ma

Newton is the SI unit if force. It is defined as the force which gives a mass of 1kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².

IMPULSE is defined as the change of momentum of a body (mv-mu) or the product of force and time.

Thus impulse = force × time = m (v-u)

The unit is Ns ( Newton seconds) which is the same as change in momentum.
