Is an object moving in uniform circular motion accelerating?

Physics
1 answer:
dexar [7]3 years ago

Yes.

-- 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.
It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or turning.

-- If an object is NOT moving in  straight line at constant speed,
then its motion is accelerated.

-- In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,
the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh
jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N

Distance, r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m

(a) F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}, q is the charge on the ion              

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}      

q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

When you take pictures with a camera, the distance between the lens and the film or chip has to be adjusted, depending on the di
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a camera shifts focus from a faraway object to a nearby object, the lens-to-film distance must increase. Likewise, when it shifts focus from a nearby object to a distant object, there must be an increase in the lens to film distance (that is, the image distance).

Therefore, if the picture of an object that is far away, the lens must move towards the film.

The focal length cannot be changed because it is fixed for a lens. Nevertheless, in order to focus on an object, the image distance can be changed.

What is a an reason why a object gets extinct
adoni [48]

Answer:

An object may become extinct due to the lack of quantity of the object and the object no longer exists so it is now extinct.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
