A biker going around a circular track at constant speed is accelerating. Why?

1 answer:

3 0

For acceleration, there needs to be three factors that come into play. Either the change in velocity is increasing, decreasing, or it is changing direction. On a circular track, the direction is always changing. Which fits one of the three factors. So your answer would be A.

a rocket with a mass of 4kg accelerates up from the ground at a rate of 20ft m/s^2, what is the drag force acting on the rocket

Maru [420]

The drag force acting on the rocket is 80N.

<h3>Give an explanation of drag force?</h3>

The divergence in velocity between the fluid and the item, also known as drag, exerts a force on it. Between the liquid and the solid object, there should be motion. Drag is absent in the absence of motion.

The air molecules are more compressed (pushed together) on the surfaces that are facing the front while being more dispersed (spread out) on the surfaces facing the back. Turbulent flow, which occurs when air layers split from the surface and start to swirl, is what causes this.

The drag force acting on the rocket F = ma

Given,

m = 4kg, a = 20ftm/s²

Substituting m and a values in the above formula,

The drag force acting on the rocket F = 4×20

The drag force acting on the rocket F = 80N.

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the building.

Nadusha1986 [10]

The height of the building is 53.4 m (projectile motion)

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

First of all, we consider the horizontal motion, which is a uniform motion at constant speed. The equation that gives the horizontal distance travelled is:

$d=v_x t$

where:

$v_x = 50 m/s$ is the horizontal velocity of the ball, which is constant since there are no forces in this direction

d = 165 m is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball

Solving for t, we find the time of flight:

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s$

Now we analyze the vertical motion: it is an accelerated motion, we can use the suvat equation

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the vertical displacement, which is the height of the building

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

t = 3.3 s is the time of flight

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for s, we find the height of the building:

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.3)^2=53.4 m$

Could someone explain how to calculate the frictional force if a side force is placed upon an object?

tangare [24]

Answer:

Friction force is equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force.

Explanation:

It does not really matter if the force is side or not. You need to draw a free body diagram, add weight, normal force, friction force and active force. Then see the horizontal and vertical components to calculate what is the normal force.
