What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
Nuetrik [128]2 years ago
4 0

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

a bird flies 25.0 m in the direction 55° east of south to its nest. the bird then flies 75.0 m in the direction 55° west of nort
son4ous [18]

The northward components of the resultant displacement is 40.96 m and the westward components of the resultant displacement of the bird from its nest is 28.68 m.

<h3>Displacement of the bird</h3>

The displacement of the bird is the change in the position of the bird.

<h3>Vertical component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vy₁ = -25 m  x   sin(55)

Vy₁ = -20.48 m

Vy₂ = 75 m   x    sin(55)

Vy₂ = 61.44 m

Total vertical displacement = 61.44 m - 20.48 m = 40.96 m

<h3>Horizontal component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vx₁ = -25 m  x   cos(55)

Vx₁ = -14.34 m

Vx₂ = 75 m   x    cos(55)

Vx₂ = 43.02 m

Total horizontal displacement = 43.02 m - 14.34 m = 28.68 m

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a  rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm²  is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.
