Why is your velocity continuously changing as you ride on a carousel?

Physics

Finger [1]3 years ago

Since carousels go in circles, the direction of travel is constantly changing and velocity is defined as constant change. This is the reason why velocity is continuously changing when riding a carousel for velocity is involve in change of direction.

Moreover, a change in velocity is an acceleration and velocity has two properties that comprises direction and magnitude. Whereas the direction of velocity is the direction of travel and speed is the magnitude of velocity.

<span>To make this more obvious (and give it some relevance beyond being just a HW question), imagine that the ride is going super, super, duper fast. You'd better hold on tight or else you'll fly off. There's obviously a force acting on you, then, to keep you on that ride. Therefore, you are accelerating, which means your velocity is changing.</span>

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

We start by using the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - G\dfrac{mM}{r} = 0

Simplifying the above equation, we get

v^2 = 2G\dfrac{M}{r}

We can rewrite this as

v^2 = 2\left(G\dfrac{M}{r^2}\right)r

Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity g so we can write

v^2 = 2gr

where v is the launch velocity.

What happens is a series circuit when you increase the number of bulbs?
Volgvan

The bulbs will produce lesser light than their capacity, In short they will be dimmer because the the energy will get divided in the number of bulbs.
