If an object travels at a constant speed in a circular path, the acceleration of the object is:

Physics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1- The acceleration of the object is larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object in a circular path is

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

As can be seen from the equation, if the radius of the circle is decreases, the magnitude of the acceleration increases.

As for the direction of the acceleration, it is always towards the center, and it is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.

To make a bounce pass, a player throws a 0.60-kg basketball toward the floor. The ball hits the floor with a speed of 5.4 m/s at
artcher [175]

Answer:

2.74 N-s

Explanation:

m = mass of the basketball thrown towards the floor = 0.60 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the ball before hitting the floor = 5.4 m/s

θ = angle made by the direction of motion of the ball with the vertical before and after the collision = 65°

I = Impulse delivered to it by the floor

Impulse delivered to the ball by the floor is given as

I = 2 m v₀ Cosθ

Inserting the values

I = 2 (0.60) (5.4) Cos65

I = 2.74 N-s

Two trains move towards each other on a straight track/railroad. The left train has a constant speed of 29ms, the right train ha
laiz [17]

Answer:

The left train travels 2378 m until it reaches the meeting point.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of the trains is the following:

x = x0 + v · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the initial position of the left train, the right train will be at an initial position of 4744. 6 m relative to the left train. The velocity of the right train will be negative because it will be heading towards the origin.

At the meeting point, the position of both trains is the same:

x left train = x right train

x0₁ + v₁  ·t = x0₂ + v₂ · t

0m + 29 m/s · t = 4744.6 m - 29 m/s · t

58 m/s · t = 4744.6 m

t = 4744.6 m / 58 /s

t = 82 s

The position of the left train at that time will be:

x = x0 + v · t

x = 0 m + 29 m/s · 82 s

x = 2378 m

The left train travels 2378 m until it reaches the meeting point.

While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

64.1°

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction = Horizontally resolved pushing force divided by Moving force

Coefficient of friction is 0.437

Resolving pushing force to horizontal = Moving force * Cos ∅

Therefore, 0.437 = Cos ∅

and ∅ = Arch Cos 0.437 = 64.1°
