If a person whirls an object horizontally in a counter clockwise direction and the string breaks at point P as shown, what path

will the rock follow?

when an object is revolving in circular path then its velocity is always along the tangent of the circular path

so while moving in circular path if the string is break then due to law of inertia the object will always move in the direction of initial motion

As we know that as per law of inertia if an object will not change its state of motion or state of rest until some external force will act on it.

So here also the object will move along its tangential direction once the string will break

so here the correct path will be

Option B

Position B is the path that the rock will follow.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression
nevsk [136]

Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time

so it is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}

now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"

then we will have mathematical expression as follows

v = \frac{d}{t}
