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>

How long would it take a 4,560 watt motor to raise a 166 kg piano to an apartment window
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation here:

P = W/t where W is work and is defined as

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

4560=\frac{(1600)(15)}{t} and isolating the unknown:

t=\frac{(1600)(15)}{4560} so

t = 5.3 seconds

At standard temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide has a density of 1.98 kg/m3. What volume does 1.70 kg of carbon dioxide occ
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the density  of Co2=  1.98 kg/m3

and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg

we know the relation between mass, volume and density is

density=mass/volume

make volume subject of formula we have

volume=mass/density

substitute we have

volume=1.7/1.98\\\\volume= 0.85m^3

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is ^{0}_{0}\gamma. Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, ^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.

A square plate of edge length 9.0 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 6.90 10-6 C. Estimate the magnitude E of the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E= 4.35*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Let's find the area charge density of the plate

α= 6.9*10^-6/9*10^-2 = 7.7*10^-5C/m2

Now we can calculate the electric field just of the plate

E =α/2e =7.7*10^-5/2*8.85*10^-12 = 4.35*10^6 N/C
