Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Find the acceleration a body whose velocity increases from 11m/s to 33m/s in 10 seconds

solong [7]

Answer:

1.1 m/(s)^2

Explanation:

u=11 m/s

v=33 m/s

t=10s

v=u+at

=> 33=22+(a)(10)

=> 33-22=10a

=> 10a=11

=> a=11/10=1.1 m/(s)^2

A circuit is made of a battery, a light bulb, and a 2 resistor. The battery has a voltage of 3 volts. When connected, the ammete

Monica [59]

Answer:

3ohms

Explanation:

From Ohm's Law

V = IR

V is that voltage = 3volts

I = current = 1amp

R = resistance in ohms

Putting those values into the above formula.

3volts = 1amp×R

Making R the subject

R = 3/1

R = 3ohms

The resistance of the light bulb is 3ohms.

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$

$170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0$

$v_2=-0.17\ m/s$

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
