Physics

lions [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes, it is accelerating

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where v is the velocity and t is the time.

v, the velocity, is also a vector, having both a magnitude (called speed) and a direction. This means that the acceleration is non-zero whenever the velocity is  changing: this means that we have an acceleration either when the speed is changing, or also when the direction of the velocity is changing.

In the example in the question, the insect spins with the disc, so it is in circular motion. This means that the direction of the velocity of the insect is constantly changing: therefore, the acceleration of the insect is non-zero, so the insect is accelerating.

The conventional relatively small unit for work(ignoring time) such as raising one pound one foot is the foot-pound(ft. lb.). Si
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1 joule = 0.737 foot-pound

Joule is the unit of work.

1 J = 1 N·m

In SI units

1 J = 1 kg· m/s²

0.737 foot-pound is the amount of work to raise 0.737 pounds one foot or raising one pound to 0.737 ft.

Provide an example of when momentum is conserved and explain your answer you can get 10 PTS if answered with a good explaination
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of two particles is

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Where m1,m2,v1, and v2 are the respective masses and velocities of the particles at a given time. Then, the two particles collide and change their velocities to v1' and v2'. The final momentum is now

p'=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

The momentum is conserved if no external forces are acting on the system, thus

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

Let's put some numbers in the problem and say

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

(8)(12)+(6)(4)=(8)(-6)+(6)(28)

96+24=-48+168

120=120

It means that when the particles collide, the first mass returns at 6 m/s and the second continues in the same direction at 28 m/s
