Which best describes Sid’s error?

Answer:

Centripetal force is perpendicular to the velocity of the satellite.

Explanation:

Centripetal force acts when a body is in circular motion. It acts towards the center of the circular orbit along the radius. Tangential speed remains constant and acts along the tangent, perpendicular to the radius of the the circular orbit. The centripetal acceleration acts along the direction of the centripetal force i.e. along the radius.

Thus, tangential speed is perpendicular to the centripetal force.

Sid's error is that he has written that centripetal force acts parallel to the velocity of the satellite. The satellite revolving around the earth has constant tangential speed. The centripetal force is perpendicular to the velocity of the satellite and points towards the earth.

Explanation :

First considering Sid's statements, the description of tangential speed and centripetal acceleration are correct.

But for Centripetal force, the description is incorrect because centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Sid's error can be corrected by the statement (b) i.e. "Centripetal force is perpendicular to the velocity of the satellite".

Answer:

 W_net = μ 5.58,   μ = 0.1     W_net = 0.558 J

Explanation:

The work is defined by the related

          W = F. d ​​= F d cos θ

where bold indicates vectors.

In the case, the work of the friction force on a circular surface is requested.

The expression for the friction force is

              fr = μ N

the friction force opposes the movement, therefore the angle is 180º and the cos 180 = -1

               W = - fr d

the path traveled half the length of the circle

               L = 2 π R

               d = L / 2

               d = π R

we substitute

                 W = - μ N d

Total work is initial to

                W_neto = - μ π R (N_b - N_a)

let's calculate

                W_net = - μ π 0.550 (0.670 - 3.90)

                W_net = μ 5.58

for the complete calculation it is necessary to know the friction coefficient, if we assume that μ = 0.1

                W_net = 0.1 5.58

                W_net = 0.558 J

Urgent!!!! Timed quiz. Calculate the velocity of the pink car.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Option A

20 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision equals zero hence for this case also, the sum of momentum of the two cars before collision should be equal to momentum after collision.

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity, where velocity considers the direction. Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity.

Momentum before collision

Since the velocities of both cars before collision are zero hence their momentum are zero ie 0.5*0+(1*0)=0

Momentum after collision

For 0.5 Kg car, its momentum will be 0.5*-40=-20 Kg.m/s

For the 1 kg car its momentum will be 1*v=1v

v-20=0

v=20 m/s
