In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point.
The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle. The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle. If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.
Answer:
100 Watts
Explanation:
<u>These equations are needed to work out the answer:</u>
- power= work done/ time taken
- work done= force* distance
- force= mass* acceleration
force: 10 kg* 2m/s= 20
work done: 20* 10m=200
power: 200/2=100
All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.
The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.
Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)
= (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)
= (200 · 9.81 · 5) (kg-m²/s²)
= 9,810 joules .
2 Newtons to the right.
3 newtons are needed to over come the friction. There are 2 left over.
So the answer is 2 newtons to the right.
5 - 3 = 2
