What is centripental force?

Physics
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Explanation:

Definition of centripetal force:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Example of centripetal force

A string on the end of which a stone is whirled about exerts a centripetal force on the stone.

The diagram is shown below

Where

The centripetal forces acting towards the centre C that is \vec {AC}

and the direction is from A to C.

And the stone is moving in a circular motion with center as C.

koban [17]

Answer:

0.00004666N

Explanation:

We know that

intensity (I) = P/ A

Where

P= power

A= Area

So lets say that the power absorbed

Will be = Intensity x Area

Which Is = 1.4 x 10^3 x(10)

So

14000 Watt = 14 kWatt

However we know that radiation pressure is equal to

time-averaged intensity all over the speed of light in free space

So

P = (1.4 x 1000)/c

But

F= P x A

So

((1.4 x 1000)/(3 x1 0^8)) x 10

Which is

=0.000046666N

Which statement is true about the critical angle of a medium with respect to air? The refractive index of the medium is taken wi
IRISSAK [1]
The correct option is D.
The critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence, which provides an angle of refraction of 90 degree. At any angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, all the light will totally reflected, resulting in total internal reflection.Thus, the critical angle is equal to the refractive index.

If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 13 m/s in 17 s , determine the constant deceleration of the car
Svetlanka [38]

Question:  Initially, the car travels along a straight road with a speed of 35 m/s. If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 13 m/s in 17 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car.

Answer:

1.29 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

a = (v-u)/t............................ Equation 1

Where a = deceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

Given: v = 13 m/s, u = 35 m/s, t = 17 s.

a = (13-35)/17

a = -22/17

a = -1.29 m/s²

Hence the deceleration of the car is 1.29 m/s²

Why are hot springs and geysers is found in areas of present or a past activity
Lady_Fox [76]
<span>Hot springs and geysers are often found in areas of present or past volcanic activity. The hot spring forms when water deep underground is heated by a nearby body of magma or hot rock. The hot water rises and collects in a natural pool; when rising hot water and steam become trapped in a narrow crack, pressure builds until the mixture sprays above the surface as a geyser.</span>
