Answer: The correct answer is "center-seeking".

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force which is required to keep the body in the circular motion. The direction of the centripetal force is towards center of the circle.

The expression for the centripetal force is as follows;

F= \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Here, r is the radius, v is the velocity and m is the mass of the object.

Without this force, the body cannot move in the circular motion. Then, it follows the straight line motion.

The direction of the centripetal force acting on a ball on a string being spun in a circle around a person is center-seeking.

Therefore, the correct option is (D).

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

The Moon requires about 1 month (0.08 year) to orbit Earth. Its distance from us is about 400,000 km (0.0027 AU). Use Kepler’s t
dem82 [27]

Answer:

\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

As per Kepler's III law we know that time period of revolution of satellite or planet is given by the formula

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

now for the time period of moon around the earth we can say

T_1 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_1^3}{GM_e}}

here we know that

T_1 = 0.08 year

r_1 = 0.0027 AU

M_e = mass of earth

Now if the same formula is used for revolution of Earth around the sun

T_2 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_2^3}{GM_s}}

here we know that

r_2 = 1 AU

T_2 = 1 year

M_s = mass of Sun

now we have

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \sqrt{\frac{r_2^3 M_e}{r_1^3 M_s}}

\frac{1}{0.08} = \sqrt{\frac{1 M_e}{(0.0027)^3M_s}}

12.5 = \sqrt{(5.08 \times 10^7)\frac{M_e}{M_s}}

\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change

Suppose an automobile has 2000-joules of kinetic energy. when it moves at twice the speed, what will be its kinetic energy? what
NeX [460]

Answer:

K.Eₓ = 4 K.E

K.Eₓ = 9 K.E

Explanation:

Th formula for the kinetic energy of a body is given as follows:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\   ---------------equation (1)

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy of Automobile

m = mass of automobile

v = speed of automobile

For twice speed:

vₓ = 2v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 4\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 4 K.E</u>

For thrice speed:

vₓ = 3v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 9\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 9 K.E</u>
