How do inertia and centripetal force combine to keep an object moving in circular motion?

Answer:

Centripetal force acts toward the center of the circle, and inertia keeps the object moving forward.

Explanation:

Inertia is a property of a body by virtue of its mass due to which a body tends to resist any change in its current state of motion.

A body in a circular motion tends to move forward due to inertia but centripetal fore which acts towards the center changes its direction and the body moves along the circumference of the circle. The combination of centripetal force and inertia keeps the object in the circular motion.

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc
balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately 28^{\circ}.

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air n_{\text{air}} is approximately 1.00.

Let n_\text{glass} denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let \theta _{\text{glass}} denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let \theta_\text{air} denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}}).

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}.

Hence:

\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately 28^{\circ}.

The velocity of a particle moving along the x axis is given by vx = a t − b t3 for t &gt; 0 , where a = 27 m/s 2 , b = 3.1 m/s 4
Elanso [62]

Answer:

-54 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time. Mathematically,

Acceleration A = change in velocity/time

A = dv/dt

Given Vx = at − bt³

The time at which the particle reaches its maximum displacement is at when vx = 0.

0 = at-bt³

t(a-bt²) = 0

a-bt² = 0

a = bt²

t² = a/b ... (1)

A = dvx/dt = a - 3bt²(by differentiating)

Acceleration = a - 3bt²... (2)

Substituting t² = a/b into equation 2 will give;

Acceleration = a - 3b(a/b)

Acceleration = a-3a

Acceleration = -2a

Substituting the value of a = 27m/s into the resulting equation of acceleration gives;

Acceleration = -2(27)

Acceleration = -54m/s²

Therefore at maximum displacement in the positive x direction, the acceleration of the particle will be -54m/s²

An arrow is shot at 28.0° above the horizontal. Its initial speed is 50 m/s and it hits the target.
fomenos
<span> <span>We will need to work with the components of the velocity, in the x and the y direction. We will say up is positive so g is -9.81 m/s^2. 

Given that the angle was 32 degrees: 

Velocity up (in the y direction) is 55 m/s * sin 32 = 29.15 m/s 
And 

Velocity forward (in the x direction) is 55 m/s * cos 32 = 46.64 m/s 

The acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s2 continuously decreases the velocity in the y direction. At the maximum height, the velocity will be zero. This should make sense, for as soon as the decreasing velocity becomes negative, the arrow will start to fall. 

We have v = v(0) + at 

And we set this to zero and solve for t: 

0 = 29.15 + -9.81t 

9.81t = 29.15 

t = 2.97 seconds 

To calculate height at this point, we use the equation that calculates position based on time, acceleration, and initial velocity (we could use an alternate too, an equation derived from the one we are now using and v = v(0) + at. 

x = x(0) + v(0)t + (1/2)at^2 

x = 0 + 29.15 * 2.97 + 0.5 9.81 (2.97)^2 

x = 43.30 m 

For a projectile, the plot of distance traveled in the upward direction is a parabola, and it takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. 

We can double 2.97 to get the time of impact on the target at 2(2.97) = 5.94 seconds 

(Alternately, if you like, you can solve 

0 = 0 + 29.15t + 0.5 9.81 t^2 

And find that the two roots are 0 and 5.94). 

http://www.math.com/students/calculators... will do the quadratic for you. 

Given a horizontal velocity of 46.64 m/s, we can calculate 

46.64 m/s (5.94 s) = 277 m for the distance of the target.</span></span>
