Any change in the magnitude or direction of velocity is "acceleration".

A rock is being twirled in a circle on the end of a string. The string provides the centripetal force needed to keep the ball mo
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.

However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.

As we know, the work done by a force on an object is

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the force and the displacement

In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore cos \theta = 0 and the work done is zero:

W=0

How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be
konstantin123 [22]

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.
