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.

Use the diagram below to answer the following question:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

3.0 cm

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length of the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this problem we have:

f = 1.5 cm is the focal length of the mirror (positive for a concave mirror)

p = 3.0 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror

Therefore, the distance of the image is:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{1.5}-\frac{1}{3.0}=\frac{1}{3.0}\\\rightarrow q=3.0 cm

And the positive sign means that the image is real.

(The second part of the exercise is just the description of the image of the first exercise).

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.
