As the centripetal force<span> acts upon an </span>object moving <span>in a </span>circle<span> at constant speed, the </span>force<span> always acts inward as the velocity of the </span>object<span> is directed tangent to the </span>circle. ... In fact, whenever the unbalanced centripetal force<span> acts perpendicular to the direction of </span>motion<span>, the speed of the </span>object will<span> remain constant.</span>

Answer:

As we know that inertia it the property of mass which resist any change in the state of motion of the object. Which means object has tendency to move in its initial state of motion and when we try to change that state of motion then object will resist to change that.

While moving in circular path the object will have tendency to change it's direction of motion at each instant. So this change in the direction of motion at every instant is due to centripetal acceleration of the object.

Now when object is revolving in circular path then the inertia of the object will help to move the object in tangential direction at every moment of the motion while the centripetal acceleration of the object will have tendency to change the direction at each moment of the motion.

So here we will say that inertia and centripetal force combine to keep an object moving in circular motion

M=3000km v=25m/s what’s the momentum

valina [46]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Momentum of the given body will be : 75000 Kg m/s

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to Newton's first law of motion, all bodies continue to be in the state of rest or motion unless an external force is applied on the body. We can use this in the case of momentum also

The formula of momentum is given by :

$:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv$

Here, we are given the mass of the body ( m ) as 3000kg and the velocity of the body ( v ) as 25 m/s. On putting the values in the formula:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv \\& :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = 3000 \times 25 \\ & :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \boxed{ \sf \: P = 75000kgm {s}^{ - 1} } \end{aligned}$

Momentum is associated with the mass of the moving body and can be defined as the quantity of motion measured as a product of mass and velocity.

An object accelerates from rest and travels 53 m west in 5.2 s. Determine the acceleration

zmey [24]

Answer:

20.4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Distance = 53m

Time = 5.2s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;

S = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Insert the parameters and solve;

53 = (0x 5.2) + $\frac{1}{2}$ x a x 5.2

53 = 2.6a

a = $\frac{53}{2.6}$ = 20.4m/s²

Which type of surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy?

Len [333]

<span>light colored and smooth surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy.Light, shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of radiation and they will allow the waves to reflect and bounce off rather than absorb. we can consider mirror as the example ,it will only reflect the light energy falling on them and it will not absorb. The darker coloured and rough surfaced substances will definitely absorb some amount of light falling on it. so light coloured smooth or shiny surfaced material would be the best reflector for electromagnetic energy.</span>

Severus Snape knows that density of his powder is 3.00 g/cm3 . He also knows he needs 3.00 cm3 of this powder. What mass in gram

harina [27]

Answer:

He requires 1 gram of mass.

Explanation:

The density is defined as:

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

Then, m can be isolated from equation 1 in order to determine the mass.

$m = \rho \cdot V$ (2)

$m = (3.00g/cm^{3})(3.00cm^{3})$

$m = 1g$

Hence, he requires 1 gram of mass.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
