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!

Where does the majority of the mass of an atom come from

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. I hope this helps you :D

Find the moment of inertia about each of the following axes for a rod that is 0.360 {cm} in diameter and 1.70 {m} long, with a m

mamaluj [8]

The complete question is;

Find the moment of inertia about each of the following axes for a rod that is 0.36 cm in diameter and 1.70m long, with a mass of 5.00 × 10 ^(−2) kg.

A) About an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its center in kg.m²

B) About an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end in kg.m²

C) About an axis along the length of the rod in kg.m²

Answer:

A) I = 0.012 kg.m²

B) I = 0.048 kg.m²

C) I = 8.1 × 10^(-8) kg.m²

Explanation:

We are given;

Diameter = 0.36 cm = 0.36 × 10^(−2) m

Length; L = 1.7m

Mass;m = 5 × 10^(−2) kg

A) For an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its center, the formula for the moment of inertia is;

I = mL²/12

I = (5 × 10^(−2) × 1.7²)/12

I = 0.012 kg.m²

B) For an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end, the formula for the moment of inertia is;

I = mL²/3

So,

I = (5 × 10^(−2) × 1.7²)/3

I = 0.048 kg.m²

C) For an axis along the length of the rod, the formula for the moment of inertia is; I = mr²/2

We have diameter = 0.36 × 10^(−2) m, thus radius;r = (0.36 × 10^(−2))/2 = 0.18 × 10^(−2) m

I = (5 × 10^(−2) × (0.18 × 10^(−2))^2)/2

I = 8.1 × 10^(-8) kg.m²

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.

Kinetic energy is the energy of

Alina [70]

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.

an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.

Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.
