Centripital force is a center seeking force, meaning it is always directed to the center point of rotation.

A is vague, but true. Assuming there is no friction and an object is already in centripetal motion; without centripital force, there will be no acceleration. The centripital force is responsible for an acceleration which doesn't affect the magnitude of the object's velocity, but rather the change in direction of the velocity.

B is true. Friction keeps the car from sliding due to the tendency for the car to want to maintain a straight path. Thus it is responsible for allowing the car to execute a turn by causing a center seeking force to the center of the point of the curve.

C is true. Newton's law of gravitation states that there is an attraction force between two masses. If a mass is undergoing an orbit around another mass, the gravitation force of attraction is responsible for maintaining the object's orbit.

D. This is false, as stated above and exemplified, centripital force is a center seeking force.

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

What is the minimum frequency with which a 200-turn, flat coil of cross sectional area 300 cm2 can be rotated in a uniform 30-mT
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 200 turns

cross sectional area, A = 300 cm² = 300 x 10⁻⁴ m²

magnitude of magnetic field strength, B = 30 x 10⁻³ T

maximum value of the induced emf, E = 8 V

Maximum induced emf is given as;

E = NBAω

where

ω is angular velocity (ω = 2πf)

E = NBA2πf

where;

f is the minimum frequency, measured in hertz (Hz)

f = E / (NBA2π)

f = 8 / (200 x 30 x 10⁻³  x 300 x 10⁻⁴ x 2 x 3.142)

f = 7.073 Hz

f = 7.1 Hz

Therefore, the minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is A. 101.325 kPa. B. 651.605 kPa. C. 448.955 kPa. D. 277.28
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Absolute  pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

That is

               P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}

We have

          P_{abs}=550.280 kPa\\\\P_{atm}=1atm=101325Pa=101.325kPa

Substituting

         P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}\\\\550.280=P_{gauge}+101.325\\\\P_{gauge}=448.955kPa

Option C is the correct answer.
