Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude

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.

A 90 kg person stands at the edge of a stationary children's merry-go-round at a distance of 5.0 m from its center. The person s

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

$\omega = \frac{v}{R}$

$\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}$

$\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega$

The final angular speed is:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

A refrigerator receives 240 V of electricity. If it uses 32 A of current, what is the resistance of the refrigerator?

Leokris [45]

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}$

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Ohms Law,

According to the Ohms law,

V = I*R, where, V = Voltage, I = Current, R = resistance,

so here given as, V = 240 V, I = 32 A,

so we get as, R = 240/32

R = 7.5 ohms,

===> The resistant R is ==> 7.5 ohms.

(5 pt) You tie a cord to a pail of water, and your swing the pail in a vertical circular 0.700 m. What is the minimum speed must

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 2.62m/s

Explanation:

The value of gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s^2

Radius of the vertical circle = R = 0.7 m

Given the mass of the pail of water = m

The speed at the highest point of the circle = V

The centripetal force will be needed must be more than the weight of the pail of water in order to not spill water.

Below is the calculation:

$\frac{mV^{2}}{R} = mg$

$V = \sqrt{gR}$

$V = \sqrt{9.81 \times 0.7}$

$V = 2.62 m/s$
