Answer:
B. Is its acceleration constant
Explanation:
Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.
The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.
EXPLANATION:
As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.
Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.
As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.
Explanation:
1. Phases of Venus: Galileo was the first astronomer to use a telescope to observe the celestial objects. Through a telescope he observed that Venus shows the phases just like the Moon. This proved the Heliocentric theory correct against the then prevalent Geocentric theory.
2. Law of Falling bodies: The acceleration due to gravity is independent of weight of the objects that means two bodies of different mass will hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.
3. The uneven surface of the Moon: He observed that the surface of the Moon is uneven and rough.
4. Discovery of the 4 Moons of Jupiter
Car X traveled 3d distance in t time. Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t, the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.
In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.
Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.
We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.
