12) Does the label “centripetal force” ever appear in an FBD?

1 answer:

6 0

"Though a force, or a resulting sum of forces, may be centripetal, there is not an actual "Centripetal Force" that would appear on an FBD. Since an FBD is a diagram of physical forces at work upon a body, and a centripetal force is not the reaction of some physical object upon another, it would not be proper to show it. You might have a tension force, a weight force, a normal force, electric forces, magnetic forces, or any number of reactions, but actually labeling any of them "centripetal" would be unconventional".

Two identical bullets are used. Both are released at the same height - one fired out of a gun, the other is dropped. Ignoring ai

irina [24]

Answer:

Both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Let's only analyze the vertical problem.

Any object that is not in the floor or resting in some site is being affected by the gravitational force (remember that we are ignoring air resistance)

Then the acceleration of this object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

a = -9.8m/s^2

Where the minus sign is because this acceleration goes down.

To get the velocity equation we need to integrate over time, we will get:

v(t) = ( -9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial vertical velocity.

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, we will get:

p(t) = (1/2)*( -9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

Where H is the initial height.

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

The object will hit the ground when p(t) = 0

Then we need to solve for t the next equation:

(-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H = 0

Notice that the only things we need to know are:

H = initial height (we know that is the same for both bullets)

v0 = initial vertical velocity (also is the same for both bullets)

Notice that the horizontal velocity does not affect this equation, then we will get the same value of t for the dropped bullet and for the fired bullet.

This means that both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

A wire of Nichrome (a nickelâ€“ chromiumâ€“ iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.0 m long and 1.0 mmÂ² in cross-se

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The conductivity of Nichrome is $2\times 10^6\ S/m$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Potential difference (V) = 2.0 V

Current flowing (I) = 4.0 A

Length of wire (L) = 1.0 m

Area of cross section of wire (A) = 1.0 mm² = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m² [1 mm² = 10⁻⁶ m²]

We know, from Ohm's law, that the ratio of voltage and current is always a constant and equal to the resistance of the resistor. Therefore, the resistance of the nichrome wire is given as:

$R=\frac{V}{A}=\frac{2.0}{4.0}=0.5\ \Omega$

Now, resistance of the nichrome wire in terms of its resistivity, length and area of cross section is given as:

$R=\rho\frac{L}{A}$

Where, $\rho\to resistivity\ of\ Nichrome$

Now, plug in all the values given and solve for $\rho$ . This gives,

$0.5\ \Omega=\rho\frac{1.0\ m}{1\times 10^{-6}\ m^2}\\\\\rho=\frac{0.5\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{1.0}=0.5\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m$

Now, conductivity of a material is the reciprocal of its resistivity. Therefore, the conductivity of Nichrome is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{1}{\rho}=\frac{1}{0.5\times 10^{-6}}=2\times 10^6\ S/m$

Conductivity is measured in Siemens per meter (S/m)

Therefore, the conductivity of Nichrome is $2\times 10^6\ S/m$ .

which of the following objects is considered negatively charged A - one with excess electrons on the surface B - one with excess

Ne4ueva [31]

An object that could be considered as negatively charged would be when it has an excess of an electron in its atom. However, when it loses an electron, it could go back to its stable state which is "uncharged" or when there is an excess proton, it could be a positively charged object.

Which situations describe an elastic collision?

Elan Coil [88]

Elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Two glass marbles bounce off each other is an example of an elastic collision. Hope this answers the question.
