In what direction does centripetal force act on an object that is traveling in a circular path?

1 answer:

8 0

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

oscillating spring mass systems can be used to experimentally determine an unknown mass without using a mass balance. a student

12345 [234]

Answer:

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency, F = 10 Hz

Spring constant, k = 250 N/m

We know that pie, π = 22/7

To find the mass, we would use the following formula;

F = 1/2π√(k/m)

Where;

F is the frequency of oscillation.

k is the spring constant.

m is the mass of the spring.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = 1/2 * 22/7 * √250/m

10 = 22/14 * √250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

140 = 22 * √250/m

Dividing both sides by 22, we have;

140/22 = √250/m

6.36 = √250/m

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

6.36² = (√250/m)²

40.45 = 250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

40.45m = 250

Mass, m = 250/40.45

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-> of magnitude 4.8

n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.

The answer and how to do it

Arturiano [62]

Current = charge per second
2 Coulombs per second = 2 Amperes

Potential difference = (current)x(resistance) in volts.

That's (2 Amperes) x (2 ohms).

That's how to do it.
I think you can find the answer now.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

$v(t)=v_0 -gt$

where

$v_0=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

$v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s$

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

$p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s$

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

How to derive the fourth equation of motion?

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

To derive the fourth equation of motion, first we have to consider the equation for acceleration and then to rearrange it. or v2 = u2 + 2as and this equation of motion can be used to find the final velocity or the distance travelled if the other values are given.

Explanation:

v= u + at

s =( u + v ) t /2

s = ut + at2/2

v2 = u2 + 2as
