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

A wrench 0.500 m long is applied to a nut with a force of 80.0 N. Because of the cramped space, the force must be exerted upward
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Torque, \tau=34.6\ N.m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.5 m

Force acting on the wrench, F = 80 N

The force is acting upward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from the bolt through the end of the wrench. We need to find the torque is applied to the nut. We know that torque acting on an object is equal to the cross product of force and distance. It is given by :

\tau=Fr\ sin\theta

\tau=80\times 0.5\ sin(60)

\tau=34.6\ N.m

So, the torque is applied to the nut is 34.6 N.m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 94 g particle undergoes SHM with an amplitude of 8.3 mm, a maximum acceleration of magnitude 7.8 x 103 m/s2, and an unknown ph
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a) T = 6.49*10^-3 s

b) v = 8 m/s

c) E = 3 J

d) F = 733 N

e) F = 366.5 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of particle, m = 94 g = 0.094 kg

Amplitude of the particle, A = 8.3 mm = 8.3*10^-3 m

Maximum acceleration of particle, a = 7.8*10^3 m/s²

the equation describing Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

x = A cos (wt +φ)

To fond the acceleration of this relationship, we would have to integrate. Twice, the first would be a Velocity, and the second acceleration that we need.

Velocity = dx/dt = -Aw sin(wt + φ)

Acceleration = d²x/dt = -Aw² cos(wt + φ)

From the question, we were given, magnitude of acceleration to be 7.8*10^3 m/s²

Aw² = 7.8*10^3

w² = 7.8*10^3 / A

w² = 7.8*10^3 / 8.3*10^-3

w² = 939759

w = √939759

w = 969

Recall, T = 2π/w, so that

T = (2 * 3.142) / 969

T = 6.49*10^-3 s

Maximum speed = Aw

Maximum speed = 8.3*10^-3 * 969

Maximum speed = 8.0 m/s

Total mechanical energy oscillator =

mgx + 1/2mx² =

1/2mv(max)² =

1/2 * 0.094 * 8² =

3 J

Maximum displacement

x = A cos(wt + φ)

For x to be maximum here, then cos(wt + φ) Must be equal to 1

Acceleration = d²x/dt² = -Aw²

And force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.094 * 7.8*10^3

Force = 733 N

x = A cos(wt + φ), where cos(wt + φ) = 1/2

d²x/dt² = -Aw² * 1/2

d²x/dt² = 733 * 0.5

= 366.5 N

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

An alert driver can apply the brakes fully in about 0.5 seconds. How far would the car travel if it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken to apply brakes fully is, t = 0.5 s

The velocity of the car, v = 29.06 m/s

The distance traveled by the car in 0.5 s, d = ?

The relation between the velocity, displacement, and time is given by the formula                

                                d = v x t    m

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                  d = 29.06 m/s x 0.5 s

                                     = 14.53 m

Therefore, the car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m
