Answer:Any force or combination of forces can cause a centripetal or radial acceleration. Just a few examples are the tension in the rope on a tether ball, the force of Earth’s gravity on the Moon, friction between roller skates and a rink floor, a banked roadway’s force on a car, and forces on the tube of a spinning centrifuge.

Any net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration. According to Newton’s second law of motion, net force is mass times acceleration: net F = ma. For uniform circular motion, the acceleration is the centripetal acceleration—a = ac. Thus, the magnitude of centripetal force Fc is Fc = mac.

By using the expressions for centripetal acceleration ac from  

a

c

=

v

r

;

a

c

=

r

ω

, we get two expressions for the centripetal force Fc in terms of mass, velocity, angular velocity, and radius of curvature:  

F

c

=

m

v

2

r

;

F

c

=

m

r

ω

.

You may use whichever expression for centripetal force is more convenient. Centripetal force Fc is always perpendicular to the path and pointing to the center of curvature, because ac is perpendicular to the velocity and pointing to the center of curvature.

Note that if you solve the first expression for r, you get  

r

=

m

v

2

F

c

.

This implies that for a given mass and velocity, a large centripetal force causes a small radius of curvature—that is, a tight curve.

The given figure consists of two semicircles, one over the other. The top semicircle is bigger and the one below is smaller. In both the figures, the direction of the path is given along the semicircle in the counter-clockwise direction. A point is shown on the path, where the radius from the circle, r, is shown with an arrow from the center of the circle. At the same point, the centripetal force is shown in the opposite direction to that of radius arrow. The velocity, v, is shown along this point in the left upward direction and is perpendicular to the force. In both the figures, the velocity is same, but the radius is smaller and centripetal force is larger in the lower figure.

Figure 1. The frictional force supplies the centripetal force and is numerically equal to it. Centripetal force is perpendicular to velocity and causes uniform circular motion. The larger the Fc, the smaller the radius of curvature r and the sharper the curve. The second curve has the same v, but a larger Fc produces a smaller r′.

Heat transfer by radiation depends on ____​
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Infrared

Explanation:

This is the electromagnetic spectrum just above the visible light spectrum with higher energy (and higher frequency). This electromagnetic radiation is responsible for feeling the heat when you place your hand close to the side of a fire. It is also harnessed in night vision where bodies that emit some form of heat are visible due to their emission of IR.

*FRICTIONAL FORCE* in the opposite direction of the way Bobby is pushing.
Friction is a force which varies but it is always opposing the direction of motion.

*APPLIED FORCE* is the force that Bobby is pushing with.
An applied force is literally the force that is applied to an object.

*WEIGHT FORCE* is also called the force of gravity. It is straight downward.
It is the weight of the object multiplied by the force of gravity. If the TV weighed 100kg, acceleration is always 9.81 m/s^2, so the weight force would be 981 N.

*NORMAL FORCE* is the force which is holding the TV above ground. The ground supplies a force upward against the TV.
Normal force is just the force that prevents the TV from falling through the ground. We don't normally realize it in our everyday life, but the floor must hold everything up because gravity is always "pushing" against it.

If the 50 kg boy were in a spacecraft 5.0r from the center of the earth, what would his weight be?
Lady_Fox [76]
·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to

                       1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .

When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is  9.8 m/s² .

The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                                                             =      490 newtons .

At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is

                 (9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)²  =  0.39 m/s² .

The boy's weight is    (mass) · (gravity)  =  (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)

                                                                  =     19.6 newtons .

Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is

         (19.6 / 490) = 0.04  =  1/25  =  1/5²  of his weight on the surface.
