Answer:

When a physical change occurs, the mass of the substance is conserved. This means that the total mass of the substance remains the same from beginning to end. The physical properties of the substance, such as size and shape, may change, but the amount of matter in the substance does not change.

Explanation:

When there is no change in chemical composition of a substance then it is known as physical change.

When we say that mass is conserved during a physical change then it means that total mass of the substance or object will remain the same from beginning till the end.

For example, a metal box of mass 20 grams is beaten with hammer. Its shape will change which is a physical change and after beaten with the hammer its mass still remains 20 grams.

A spaceship negotiates a circular turn of radius 2925 km at a speed of 29960 km/h. (a) What is the magnitude of the angular spee

emmainna [20.7K]

a) 0.0028 rad/s

b) $23.68 m/s^2$

c) $0 m/s^2$

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the angular speed of the object is the rate of change of its angular position. In formula, it is given by

$\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval

The angular speed of an object in circular motion can also be written as

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$ (1)

where

v is the linear speed of the object

r is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in this problem we have:

$v=29,960 km/h$ is the linear speed, converted into m/s,

$v=8322 m/s$

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Subsituting into eq(1), we find the angular speed of the spaceship:

$\omega=\frac{8322}{2.925\cdot 10^6}=0.0028 rad/s$

When an object is in circular motion, its direction is constantly changing, therefore the object is accelerating; in particular, there is a component of the acceleration acting towards the centre of the orbit: this is called centripetal acceleration, or radial acceleration.

The magnitude of the radial acceleration is given by

$a_r=\omega^2 r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

$r$ is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in the problem, we have

$\omega=0.0028 rad/s$ is the angular speed

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Substittuing into the equation above, we find the radial acceleration:

$a_r=(0.0028)^2(2.925\cdot 10^6)=23.68 m/s^2$

When an object is in circular motion, it can also have a component of the acceleration in the direction tangential to its motion: this component is called tangential acceleration.

The tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in the linear speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

In this problem, the spaceship is moving with constant linear speed equal to

$v=8322 m/s$

Therefore, its linear speed is not changing, so the change in linear speed is zero:

$\Delta v=0$

And therefore, the tangential acceleration is zero as well:

$a_t=\frac{0}{\Delta t}=0 m/s^2$
