The speed is changing its direction all the time. There
is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called
centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no
acceleration.
This is the general formula for acceleration
a = dv/dt
When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change
in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt
tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference
between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity
(the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).
There is a formula (which can be deducted from the
previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:
a = v^2/r
Let’s talk about the units:
v is in m/s
r is in m
so v^2/r
is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2
which is the same unit as dv/dt:
dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
Answer:
The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.
Explanation:
<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>
Initial speed, u = 0 m/s
Time = 2 s
Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²
Initial height = 25 m
Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m
Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m
<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>
Initial speed, u = 15 m/s
Time = 2 s
Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²
Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m
Height above ground = 10.38 m
We have equation for center of gravity

m₁ = 0.50 kg
x₁ = 5.38 m
m₂ = 0.25 kg
x₂ = 10.38 m
Substituting

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

Answer:

Explanation:
A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.
