WHY does an acceleration cause velocity to increase

Physics
2 answers:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.

It doesn't always do that.

Acceleration means any change in the speed or direction of motion. So any time an object speeds up, slows down, or turns, acceleration is happening.

These 3 things are all changes of velocity. Acceleration causes them, because that's the definition of acceleration.

Three charges, each of magnitude 10 nC, are at separate corners of a square of edge length 3 cm. The two charges at opposite cor
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The force exerted by three charges on the fourth is F_{resultant}=2.74\times10^{-5}\ \rm N

Explanation:

Given:

  • The magnitude of three identical charges, q=10\ \rm nC
  • Length of the edge of the square a=3 cm
  • Magnitude of fourth charge ,Q=3 nC

According to coulombs Law the force F between any two charge particles is given by

F=\dfrac{kQq}{r^2}

where r is the radial distance between them.

Since the force acting on the charge particle will be in different directions so according to triangle law of vector addition

F_{resultant}=\sqrt ((\dfrac{kQq}{L^2})^2+(\dfrac{kQq}{L^2} })^2)+\dfrac{kQq}{(\sqrt{2}L)^2}\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{kQq}{L^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{9\times10^9\times10\times10^{-10}\times3\times10^{-9}}{0.03^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=2.74\times 10^{-5}\ \rm N

A pendulum consists of a 0.5 kg mass attached to the end of 1-meter-long rod of negligible mass. When the rod makes an angle of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

T=4.24 N.m

Explanation:

Torque is equal to force for distance for sinus of the angle between the direction of the force and the distance, the distance between the mass and the pivot is 1 m, and to obtain the force that is the mass for the gravity in this case, we need to know the component that produces a torque in the pivot

F=0.5 kg* 9.8 m/s^{2}= 4.9 N

and we decompose the force in parallel direction to the rod and perpendicular direction to the rod, the magnitude that produces torque is the perpendicular component, because the torque is in function of the sinus

so, we obtain -> Fy= 4.9 N*sin(60)= 4.24 N

and, T= (4.24 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(90))= 4.24 N.m

anothe way to do it is,

T= (4.9 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(60))= 4.24 N.m, and we obtain the same result

A space shuttle with a mass of approximately 7.08 E5 kg is sitting on the launch pad. What would be the weight of the space shut
Afina-wow [57]

The weight of the shuttle is 6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The magnitude of the weight of an object is given by:

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface

And the direction is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

For the shuttle in this problem, its mass is

m=7.08\cdot 10^5 kg

So, its weight is

W=(7.08\cdot 10^5)(9.8)=6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Note that while the mass of an object (m) does not change, its weight (W) changes according to the location, since the value of g can be different at different location (for example, on the Moon, the value of g is about 1/6 the value of g on the Earth).
