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

Match the geologic time period with its corresponding event.
Mandarinka [93]

The dinosaurs first appeared in the Mesozoic and the first mass extinction occurred during the Paleozoic. Moreover, humans first appeared in the Cenozoic.

<h3>The geological eras and biological events</h3>

The dinosaurs emerged during the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 220-225 million years ago.

The first mass extinction occurred in the Ordovician Period (the second period of the Paleozoic Era).

The Cenozoic is the current geological Era that encompasses the last 60 million years.

The difference in the average speed of two trains is 16 miles per hour. the slower train takes 2 hours longer to travel 170 mile
VikaD [51]
Lets assume that s is the speed of the slower train and f is the speed of the faster train.
s = f - 16
f = 150 / t
s = 170 / ( t+2 )
-----------------------
170 / ( t+2 ) = 150 / t  - 16  / t * ( t + 2 ) 
170 t = 150 * ( t + 2 ) - 16 t * ( t + 2 )
170 t = 150 t + 300 - 16 t² - 32 t
16 f² + 52 t - 300 = 0 /  : 4  ( We will divide both sides of the equation by 4 )
4 t² + 13 t - 75 = 0
t 1/2 = ( -13 + √(169 + 1200 ) )/ 8
t = ( - 13 + 37 ) / 8 = 24 / 8 = 3
t = 3 h
s = 170 : ( 3 + 2 ) = 170 : 5 = 34 mph
Answer: The speed of the slower train is 34 mph.

<h3>2 Answers:</h3>

a) Velocity is a vector quantity

e) Velocity is a speed with direction

=================================================

Explanation:

If we know the velocity of an object, then we know how fast it's going (speed) and where it's going (direction). It is a vector because the direction of the vector determines the direction, and the length of the vector (aka magnitude) determines the speed. So in a sense we've built in two facts of data into one visual.

An example of velocity: 10 miles per hour north. Here we have the speed of 10 mph and the direction north.

-------------------

Extra info:

  • Choice B contradicts choice A, so we can cross choice B off the list.
  • Choice C is false because speed is a scalar, or single quantity, and not a vector. As mentioned earlier, speed is a part of velocity, but they aren't the same exact thing.
  • Choice D is false because the velocity does not account for net force. We don't have any force information built into the velocity.
