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 orbiting of the moon around the Earth can be explained by

HACTEHA [7]

When talking about orbits, it would have to be a mixture of both A. and B. since Newton's first law, gravity plays a huge part in an orbit. However, the universal gravitation law also tells us the relationship between two massive objects in orbit. But to choose only one, it would have to be B. Newton's first law

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

rjkz [21]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

$\Sigma F = ma$

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = <u>40 N</u>

An object falls from the top of a building that is 25 m high. Air resistance is negligible.

Vlada [557]

The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>

Given that we can write that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height

v^2 = 2gh

v = √2 * 9.8 * 25

v = 22.1 m/s
