A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.

<em><u>Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. </u></em>

That is;

ac = v²/r

Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this p

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given a proton is placed in an electric field of intensity of 700 N/C

So electric field E = 700 N/C

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on proton $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So electric force on the proton $F=qE=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 700=1.120\times 10^{-16}N$

This force will be equal to force due to acceleration of the proton

According to newton's law force is given by F = ma

So $1.67\times 10^{-27}\times a=1.120\times 10^{-16}$

$a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

So acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

Example: A wooden crate with mass 100kg is at rest on a stone floor. You know that the coefficients of kinetic and static fricti

alexgriva [62]

Answer

Any force greater 490N

Explanation

The force required just to make an object slide over a rough horizontal surface is any force greater that the static friction which given by;

$F=\mu_s mg.............(1)$

Given;

$\mu_s=0.5\\m=100kg\\g=9.8m/s^2$

Hence;

F = 0.5 x 100 x 9.8

F = 490N.

We will only need the coefficient of kinetic friction if we were asked to find the force required to keep the object moving uniformly. Usually, the force needed to keep an object moving uniformly over a rough surface is lesser that which is needed to start its motion.

In this problem, we were only asked to find the minimum force required to make the object move which we have done.

An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and the

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

18.60 m/s

Explanation:

Original momentum = mv = 4000 with m = 115

after collision m = 115 + 100 = 215 kg

but the total momentum is still the same (conserved)

4000 = 215 v shows v = 18.60 m/s
