Why are clockwise and counterclockwise referred to as “senses,” rather than directions?

Clockwise and counter-clockwise is considered as a sense rather than a direction because it is only a view point where its movement of direction is always changing. Moreover, it is assumed as a tangential velocity of different points on the same body that is spinning in all directions and do not describe the motion of an object. The term can only be applied to object-observer system and not particularly for a direction.

Answer: Hello there!

Let's suppose that are directions

Suppose that the hour hand of the clock is on the 3, then the "direction" clockwise points down, and the direction "counterclockwise" points up.

Now if the hour hand is in the 12, the clockwise "direction" points to the right, and the counterclockwise points left.

Then you can see that the direction changes depending on where are we looking, this is the reason for them to be called "senses", because in this way you don't need to, for example, use the position of the object which movement is being described.

Describe how Newton’s third law applies to the box and the table.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

the box has vertical force on the table

Explanation:

There can be no single isolated force, for every action there must be a force of reaction of ingual magnitude and direction, but in the opposite direction

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its speed in order move in a circular path
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.

Conservation of Momentum<br> No one likes you little trolls please send an actual answer
Olin [163]

Hello!

This is an example of an inelastic collision, where the two objects "stick" to each other after their collision. (The Goalkeeper CATCHES the puck).

We can write out the conservation of momentum formula:

m1vi + m2vi = m1vf + m2vf

Let:

m1 = mass of puck

m2 = mass of the goalkeeper

We know that the initial velocity of the goalkeeper is 0, so:

m1vi + m2(0) = m1vf + m2vf

m1vi = m1vf + m2vf

The final velocities will be the same, so:

m1vi = (m1 + m2)vf

Plug in the given values:

(0.16)(40)/ (0.16 + 120) = vf ≈ 0.0533 m/s

Using the equation for momentum:

p = mv

The object with the LARGER mass will have the greater momentum. Thus, the Goalkeeper has the largest momentum as p = mv; a greater mass correlates to a greater momentum since the velocity is the same between the two objects. The puck would have a momentum of p = (.16)(0.0533) = 0.008528 kgm/s, whereas the goalkeeper would have a momentum of

p =  (120)(0.0533) = 6.396 kgm/s.

How is the path of the water particles near the water's surface different from the path near the ocean floor
swat32

Answer: Cold Ocean Currents: It is the layer of the ocean water which moves due to the stress of blowing the wind and this motion is thus called as Ekman Transport. Deep Water Currents: They constitute about 90% of the ocean water. They move around the ocean basin due to variations in the density and gravity.
