How does a centripetal force cause circular motion

2 answers:

8 0

This acceleration is directed towards the center of thecircle. ... So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order tocause its inward acceleration. This is sometimes referred to as the centripetal force requirement.

Answer:

It cause the change in the direction of the motion at every instant of time

Explanation:

When an object is revolving around a fixed point with uniform speed then in that case the acceleration of the object tangential to the path must be zero.

which mean the component of acceleration along the speed of the object at all instant of time will zero or not present because it's speed must remains the same

now since the direction of motion is continuously changing here so we can say that the force must acting here in such a way that will cause the change in the direction of the object

So this force must be perpendicular to the velocity at all instant so that the magnitude of velocity will remain the same while the direction of the velocity will continuously changing

So centripetal force will always act along the center of the path of the object

dimaraw [331]

Answer: the same as Lily's

Explanation:

Angular velocity has to do with the speed at which an object will be able to rotate. We are informed that Bob and Lily are riding on a merry-go-round.

Since we are further told that Bob rides on a horse near the outer edge of the circular platform, and Lily rides on a horse near the center of the circular platform and that he merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed.

Based on the above analysis, Bob's angular speed will be thesame as that of Lily.

What is Newton's second law it's challenging question let's observ who is answering first

lina2011 [118]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. (a) At wha

dezoksy [38]

a) Time at which velocity is +20.0 m/s: 2.04 s

b) Time at which velocity is -20.0 m/s: 6.12 s

c) Time at which the displacement is zero: t = 0 and t = 8.16 s

d) Time at which the velocity is zero: t = 4.08 s

e) i) ii) iii) The acceleration of the boulder is always $9.8 m/s^2$ downward

f) See graphs in attachment

Explanation:

The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$

downward (acceleration due to gravity). So, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where:

v is the velocity at time t

u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 20.0 m/s

Therefore,

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{20-40}{-9.8}=2.04 s$

In this case, we want to find the time t at which the boulder is moving at 20.0 m/s downward, so when

v = -20.0 m/s

(the negative sign means downward)

We use again the suvat equation

$v=u+at$

And substituting

u = +40.0 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2

We find the corresponding time t:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{-20-(+40)}{-9.8}=6.12 s$

To solve this part, we can use the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the displacement

u = +40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

t is the time

We want to find the time t at which the displacement is zero, so when

s = 0

SUbstituting into the equation and solving for t,

$0=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\t(u+\frac{1}{2}a)=0$

which gives two solutions:

t = 0 (initial instant)

$u+\frac{1}{2}at=0\\t=-\frac{2u}{a}=-\frac{2(40)}{-9.8}=8.16 s$

which is the instant at which the boulder passes again through the initial position, but moving downward.

To solve this part, we can use again the suvat equation

$v=u+at$

where

u = +40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is zero, so when

v = 0

Substituting and solving for t, we find:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-(40)}{-9.8}=4.08 s$

In order to evaluate the acceleration of the boulder, let's consider the forces acting on it.

If we neglect air resistance, there is only one force acting on the boulder: the force of gravity, acting downward, with magnitude

$F=mg$

where m is the mass of the boulder and $g$ the acceleration of gravity.

According to Newton's second law, the net force on the boulder is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F=ma$

Combining the two equations, we get

$ma=mg\\a=g$

So, the acceleration of the boulder is $g=9.8 m/s^2$ downward at any point of the motion, no matter where the boulder is (because the force of gravity is constant during the motion).

Find the three graphs in attachment:

- Position-time graph: the position of the boulder initially increases as the boulder goes upward; however, the slope of the curve decreases as the boulder goes higher (because the velocity decreases). The boulder reaches its maximum height at t = 4.08 s (when velocity is zero), then it starts going downward, until reaching its initial position at t = 8.16 s

- Velocity-time graph: the initial velocity is +40 m/s; then it decreases linearly (because the acceleration is constant), and becomes zero when t = 4.08 s. Then the velocity becomes negative (because the boulder is now moving downward) and its magnitude increases.

- Acceleration-time graph: the acceleration is constant and it is $-9.8 m/s^2$ , so this graph is a straight horizontal line.

NASA has asked your team of rocket scientists about the feasibility of a new satellite launcher that will save rocket fuel. NASA

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The answer is " $q=0.0945\,C$ ".

Explanation:

Its minimum velocity energy is provided whenever the satellite(charge 4 q) becomes 15 m far below the square center generated by the electrode (charge q).

$U_i=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{\sqrt{(15)^2+(5/\sqrt2)^2}}$

It's ultimate energy capacity whenever the satellite is now in the middle of the electric squares:

$U_f=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\ \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}})}$

Potential energy shifts:

$= U_f -U_i \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{(15)^2+( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2})^2)}}\right ) \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ 15 +( \frac{5}{2})}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{30+5}{2})}}\right )\\\\$

$=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{35}{2})}}\right )\\\\=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{17.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 24.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 19.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{4q^2}{\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( 0.2256 }\right )\\\\= \frac{0.28 \times q^2}{ \epsilon_0}\\\\=q^2\times31.35 \times10^9\,J$

Now that's the energy necessary to lift a satellite of 100 kg to 300 km across the surface of the earth.

$=\frac{GMm}{R}-\frac{GMm}{R+h} \\\\=(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{24}\times100)\left(\frac{1}{6400\times1000}-\frac{1}{6700\times1000} \right ) \\\\ =(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{26})\left(\frac{1}{64\times10^{5}}-\frac{1}{67\times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\=(6.67\times6.0\times10^{15})\left(\frac{67 \times 10^{5} - 64 \times 10^{5} }{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\$

$=( 40.02\times10^{15})\left(\frac{3 \times 10^{5}}{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\ =40.02 \times10^{15} \times 0.0007 \\\\$

$\\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10}\,J \\\\= q^2\times31.35\times10^{9} \\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10} \\\\q=0.0945\,C$

This satellite is transmitted by it system at a height of 300 km and not in orbit, any other mechanism is required to bring the satellite into space.
