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

Physics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
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!

A sinusoidal traveling wave is generated on a string by an oscillating source that completes 116 cycles per minute. What is the
slava [35]

Answer:

\lambda =6.32\ cm

Explanation:

given,

number of cycle complete (f) = 116 cycles per minute

wavelength observed at 11 m in 1.5 m.

v = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v = \dfrac{11}{1.5}

v = 7.33 m/s

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{7.33}{116}

\lambda =0.0632\ m

\lambda =6.32\ cm

The wavelength of the wave is equal to \lambda =6.32\ cm

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
