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.

a particle of mass m sits at rest at x = 0. At time t = 0 a force given by F = Fe^(-t/T) is applied in the +x direction; F and T

wlad13 [49]

Explanation:

Given: $F=m\ddot{x}=Fe^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

Solving for $\ddot{x}$ :

$\ddot{x}=\frac{F}{m}e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m} } t}$

where:

$T=\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}$

Integrating to get $\dot{x}$ with initial conditions $\dot{x}(0)=0$ :

$\dot{x}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} t}$

Integrating to get x with initial conditions x(0) = 0:

$x=-1+\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} t+e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}t}$

When t=T:

$x=-1+\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}+e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}}=\frac{1}{e}$

$\dot{x}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}} e^{-\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}\sqrt{\frac{m}{F}}}=\sqrt{\frac{F}{m}}(1-\frac{1}{e})$

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

0°

Explanation:

The angle between force and displacement should be 0° in order to get the maximum work done.

Work done = Force x dcosФ°

Ф is the angle between force and displacement

When Ф is zero, the maximum work done is attained

When Ф is 90, the minimum work is done, in fact, work done is 0

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0

Suspend a heavy weight by two pieces of rope. Tension is greatest when the ropes

bija089 [108]

Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer. You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.
