Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called

Physics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

A boat takes off from the dock at 2.5m/s and speeds up at 4.2m/s2 for 6.0 seconds how far has the boat traveled
suter [353]

Answer:

The answer is "91 m"

Explanation:

v_0 = 2.5 \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\a = 4.2\ \frac{m}{s^2}\\\\t = 6.0\ s\\\\\Delta x=?

Using formula:

\Delta x = v_0 t +\frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\

      = 2.5 \times 6.0  +\frac{1}{2}  \times  4.2 \times 6.0^2\\\\= 90.6\  m \approx 91\ m

A quick warning though this only works on planets either close to the star or planets that are very large. 

Also to ensure that the shadows are planets the shadows have to move or orbit around the star. IE The shadow moves

PLEASE HELP!! Newtons first law states that if an objects velocity is changing a __________ must be acting on it. Question 1 opt
Anika [276]

Newtons first law states that if an objects velocity is changing a <u>force</u> must be acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that:

"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) will remain at rest (or will continue moving with the same velocity) unless acted upon an unbalanced force"

We can apply this law to a daily life example:

  • Take a book at rest on a table: the forces acting on the book are balanced. If we do not apply any other force, we know that the book will remain at rest: this is exactly what is summarized in Newton's first law.
  • Take a space probe moving in the interstellar space, very far from any planet or source of gravitational force. Since there are no forces acting on the proble, the probe will continue moving at the same velocity (same speed and same direction) forever, unless stopped by a new force acting on it.

This means that in order to put an object at rest in motion, or to stop an object already in motion, or to change its velocity, an unbalanced force needs to be applied: otherwise, the object will continue having the same velocity (which can be either zero or non-zero), so it will continue having  same speed and same direction.
