In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?

Physics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
4 0

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point. 

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle.  The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle.  If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.2 rad/s in 3.07 s. (a) f
Hitman42 [59]
(a) The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t}
where \omega_i and \omega_f are the initial and final angular speed of the wheel, and t the time.

In our problem, the initial angular speed is zero (the wheel starts from rest), so the angular acceleration is
\alpha =  \frac{(11.2 rad/s) - 0}{3.07 s} =3.65 rad/s^2

(b) The wheel is moving by uniformly rotational accelerated motion, so the angle it covered after a time t is given by
\theta (t) = \omega_i t +  \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
where \omega_i = 0 is the initial angular speed. So, the angle covered after a time t=3.07 s is
\theta=  \frac{1}{2}  \alpha t^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(3.65 rad/s^2)(3.07 s)^2 = 17.2 rad

Plsss help me <br><br> what factors affect electrostatic force?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The first factor is the amount of charge on each object. The greater the charge, the greater the electric force. The second factor is the distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the greater the electric force is.

two forces equal in magnitude and opposite in direction act at the same point on an object. is it possible for there to be a net
elena55 [62]

If the forces are equal, at a distance equidistant it is not possible to act a pair on the body since both torques cancel each other. Being of the same magnitude and in the opposite direction, the sum of the torques will be zero.

If both mass and velocity of a ball are tripled, the kinetic energy is increased by a factor of:.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the answer is 27

Explanation:

1/2mv^2 = KE

if mass is 3, and velocity is 3 (3^2 = 9)

then KE increases by a factor of 27
