Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?

Physics

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2

A _____________ is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to support a horizontal beam. A. Truss c. Post-and-lint
IgorC [24]

A Post-and-lintel is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to

support a horizontal beam.

A Post-and-lintel system is commonly used in architecture and involves the

system where horizontal structures are held by vertical ones with the

presence of spaces between them.

In this scenario, we were told the system uses vertical posts which are

separated to support a horizontal beam which makes Post-and-lintel the

most appropriate choice.

A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?
stepladder [879]

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.

A 544 g ball strikes a wall at 14.3 m/s and rebounds at 14.4 m/s. The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.042 s. What is the
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

F = 371.738\,N

Explanation:

Let assume that ball strikes a vertical wall in horizontal direction. The situation can be modelled by the appropriate use of the definition of Moment and Impulse Theorem, that is:

(0.544\,kg)\cdot (14.3\,\frac{m}{s})-F\cdot \Delta t = -(0.544\,kg)\cdot (14.4\,\frac{m}{s} )

F\cdot \Delta t = 15.613\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}

The average force acting on the ball during the collision is:

F = \frac{15.613\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s} }{0.042\,s}

F = 371.738\,N
