<u>The following statements are true about centripetal force :</u>

  • Without centripetal force, an object would continue in a straight
  • line.
  • Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a thrown
  • baseball down to the ground.
  • Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on  the road going around a curve.

Answer: Option A, C, and D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Centripetal Force & Examples-

Centripetal force can be defined as the component of force that acts on an object in a curvilinear motion, directed towards the centre of axis of the circular path. This is the force responsible to pull an object in an inward direction and balance the pace on the path.

In the absence of the centripetal force, an object will either move in the direction of motion or on a straight path instead of moving inwards. It's also called as an "inward Force" as it tends to move the object towards the centre of the curved path.

As an example, a car moving on a circular road accelerates due to its constant change in direction since it's moving on a circular path. Now, the frictional force comes into picture that contributes its component as a centripetal force, pulling it towards the centre of the axis of the circular path.

Hence we can say that when a car turns on a circular path, friction force acts a centripetal force to maintain its motion and direction on the path. Talking about a baseball which is attracted by the gravitational force of the Earth and hence falls on the ground is clearly not the case of centripetal force as the path may not be circular every time and there is not axis of rotation.

Besides centripetal force, there is another force that acts on an object moving on a circular path but not in the inward direction. It is instead, equal and opposite of the centripetal force that draws the object away from the circular path of motion. Hence, it's called the "Outward force".

Answer:

A and D.

Explanation:

Centripetal force is a pulling force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and it is directed towards the center of the path of motion. This force keeps a rotating object in its position, but causes a continuous change in its direction. It has its applications in all objects performing a circular or rotational motion kept on their path.

It is important to understanding the law of inertia so as to know the importance of centripetal force. If not for centripetal force, objects would continue in a straight line. And objects would not be able to go around a curved path.

A metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?
Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • Mass= 15000 kg
  • Volume= ?

Replacing in the definition of density:

5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } =\frac{15000 kg}{volume}

Solving:

volume×5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }= 15000 kg

volume= \frac{15000 kg}{5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }}

<u><em>volume= 3 m³</em></u>

In summary, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi
shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

The near point of an eye is 110 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects 26.0 cm in fro
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 34.047 cm

The power of the needed corrective lens is 2.937 diopter.

Explanation:

Distance of the object from the lens,u = 26 cm

Distance of the image from the lens ,v= -110 cm

(Image is forming on the other side of the lens)

Since ,lens of the human eye is converging lens,convex lens.

Using a lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{26 cm}+\frac{1}{-110 cm}

f = 34.047 cm = 0.3404 m

Power of the lens = P

P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.34047 m}=2.937 diopter
