What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?

Physics

Eduardwww [97]3 years ago

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.135 kg baseball thrown at 40 m/s
Ronch [10]
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 40^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 1600
KE = 108 J

An elevator traveled 15 floors (150 ft) at a speed of 4.5 m/s. What additional information is needed to determine the velocity o
vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>
