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

1 answer:

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.

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7 $cm^3$ ).

Density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$ .

So the density of that piece of metal is $\frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}$

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.
