Which describes acceleration involving only a change in direction?

Physics
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

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>

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal
joja [24]

Complete Question

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49 m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal.How high (in meters )  is the airplane above the ground 13 seconds after takeoff?

Answer:

The height  is H  =  318.5 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which the plane takes off is  u = 49 \ m/s

      The angle at which it takes off is  \theta  =  30 ^o

        The time taken is t =  13  s

The vertical distance traveled is  mathematically represented as

          H  =  u sin  \theta  t

Substituting values  

         H  =  (49) * sin (30) *13

        H  =  318.5 \ m

What is harmonic motion
Tanzania [10]

Answer:  NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO

Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.

A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch is 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s².

How many times stronger than gravity is this force? 2.79 x 10⁴ g.

Explanation:

given information:

s = 220 m

final speed, vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

he unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch

vf² = v₀²+2as, v₀ = 0

vf² = 2as

a =vf²/2s

  = (10970)²/(2x220)

  = 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s²

Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration

a/g = 2.7 x 10⁵/9.8

a/g = 2.79 x 10⁴

a = 2.79 x 10⁴ g

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

<em>-z axis</em>

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.

John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.

The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds)  =  4,000 foot-pounds of work.

If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds)  =  645.2 foot-pounds per second.

The rate of doing work is called "power".

(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)

So back to our problem.

John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.

Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".

So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of

           (645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)

=  1.173 Horsepower.  GO JOHN !

(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________

Oh my gosh !  Look at #26 !  There are the metric units I was talking about.

Do you need #26 ?

I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.

a).  5
b).  750 Joules
c).  800 Joules
d).  93.75%

You're welcome.

And #27 is 0.667 m/s .
