Help needed Can a body be accelerating if it is moving in circle

Physics

kupik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving in a circle with a uniform or constant speed. The velocity vector is constant in magnitude but changing in direction. Because the speed is constant for such a motion, many students have the misconception that there is no acceleration. "After all," they might say, "if I were driving a car in a circle at a constant speed of 20 mi/hr, then the speed is neither decreasing nor increasing; therefore there must not be an acceleration." At the center of this common student misconception is the wrong belief that acceleration has to do with speed and not with velocity. But the fact is that an accelerating object is an object that is changing its velocity. And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity. For this reason, it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>When </em><em>a </em><em>body </em><em>is </em><em>moving </em><em>on </em><em>a </em><em>circle </em><em>it </em><em>is </em><em>accelerating </em><em>because </em><em>centripetal </em><em>acceleration</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>always </em><em>acting </em><em>on </em><em>it </em><em>towards </em><em>the </em><em>center.</em>

<em>Please </em><em>see</em><em> the</em><em> attached</em><em> picture</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

<em>From </em><em>the </em><em>above </em><em>diagram,</em><em>we </em><em>can </em><em>say </em><em>the </em><em>acceleration</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>always </em><em>acting </em><em>on </em><em>the </em><em>body </em><em>when </em><em>it </em><em>moves </em><em>in </em><em>a </em><em>circle.</em>

<em>Hope </em><em>this </em><em>helps.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

<em>Good </em><em>luck</em><em> on</em><em> your</em><em> assignment</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

What is the speed of a car traveling 100 m in 20 s?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: To answer this question, we will need the following equation: SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (A multiplication and division triangle will be shown)i) The speed of the car is calculated by doing 100 metres/ 20 seconds which gives us 5 metres per second. ii) Rearranging the equation earlier, we can make the distance the subject of the equation so that we get SPEED x TIME = DISTANCE. We worked out the speed and the time was given as 1 minute 40 seconds but we cannot plug in the numbers yet as the time has to be converted to units of seconds (because our speed is in meters per second). 1 minute 40 seconds = 60 seconds + 40 seconds = 100 secondsWe then plug in the numbers to get the distance travelled = 5 metres per second x 100 seconds = 500 metres.

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th
Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

\theta is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function cos \theta. The value of cos \theta are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B

Answer:

The recording that Eli and Clara's Seismograph would show will be very close to that a real Seismograph would show. This is because the mechanism they have constructed is very similar to the real one.
