Is an object moving in uniform circular motion accelerating?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

430m. We use the displacement formula x=v*t+1/2*a*t^2. Set upward to be the positive direction, so v=6m/s, a=-g=-9.8m/s^2 (gravity is pulling the object down), and t=10s. The displacement is -h(it's negative because the ending point is the ground, which is negative relative to the starting point). -h=60-4.9*100, h=430 m.

2. If a vehicle with four wheels is traveling in a linear path through soft dirt, how many and which tires would you expect to l

velikii [3]

Given our understanding of the situation, for this vehicle with four wheels is traveling in a linear path through soft dirt, we would expect for only two wheels to leave tire track impressions.

The vehicle has four wheels, and one might think initially that it makes sense for all four wheels to create tire track impressions on the dirt. This assessment is correct, all four tires will create impressions, However, not all four tires will leave a said impression.

This is due to the fact that as the vehicle advances, the tires in the back will erase the impressions left by the front tires. Therefore, only two tire track impressions will be left.

what is the acceleration of a cabinet of a mass 45 kg if it is pushed by applying horizontal force of 25 Newtons and 18 Newtons

Sauron [17]

Acceleration of the cabinet= 0956 m/s²

Explanation:

Total force=25+18=43 N

mass of cabinet=45 kg

now F = m a

a= F/m

a=43/45

a=0.956 m/s²

Thus the acceleration of the cabinet=0.956 m/s²
