Which describes acceleration involving only a change in direction?

1 answer:

6 0

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>

Brums [2.3K]

$f = ma$

Rearranging it, we get;

$a = \frac{f}{m}$
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

$a = \frac{325}{250}$
$a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$

The force F required to compress a spring a distance x is given by F 2 F0 5 kx where k is the spring constant and F0 is the prel

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

a)W=8.333lbf.ft

b)W=0.0107 Btu.

Explanation:

<u>Complete question</u>

The force F required to compress a spring a distance x is given by F– F0 = kx where k is the spring constant and F0 is the preload. Determine the work required to compress a spring whose spring constant is k= 200 lbf/in a distance of one inch starting from its free length where F0 = 0 lbf. Express your answer in both lbf-ft and Btu.

Solution

Preload = F₀=0 lbf

Spring constant k= 200 lbf/in

Initial length of spring x₁=0

Final length of spring x₂= 1 in

At any point, the force during deflection of a spring is given by;

F= F₀× kx where F₀ initial force, k is spring constant and x is the deflection from original point of the spring.

$W=\int\limits^2_1 {} \, Fds \\\\\\W=\int\limits^2_1( {F_0+kx} \,) dx \\\\\\W=\int\limits^a_b {kx} \, dx ; F_0=0\\\\\\W=k\int\limits^2_1 {x} \, dx \\\\\\W=k*\frac{1}{2} (x_2^{2}-x_1^{2} )\\\\\\W=200*\frac{1}{2} (1^2-0)\\\\\\W=100.lbf.in\\\\$

Change to lbf.ft by dividing the value by 12 because 1ft=12 in

100/12 = 8.333 lbf.ft

work required to compress the spring, W=8.333lbf.ft

The work required to compress the spring in Btu will be;

1 Btu= 778 lbf.ft

?= 8.333 lbf.ft----------------cross multiply

(8.333*1)/ 778 =0.0107 Btu.

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direc

Lerok [7]

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s
