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.

The tension in a string from which a 4.0 kg object is suspended in an elevator is equal to 44 N. What is the acceleration of the

Ronch [10]

Answer: 1

Explanation:

Given

Tension is the string $T=44\ N$

mass of object $m=4\ kg$

Tension is greater than the weight of the object i.e. elevator is moving upward

we can write

$\Rightarrow T-mg=ma\\\Rightarrow T=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow 44=4(10+a)\\\Rightarrow 11=10+a\\\Rightarrow a=1\ m/s^2$

You are boiling a pot of water on an electric stove. The pot sits directly on the heating coil and is primarily heated by:______

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

conduction

Explanation:

conduction is a form of heat transfer whereby heat is transferred by direct contact between the heat source and the object to be heated. In the question it is stated that the pot sits directly (direct contact) on the heating coil (heat source) and the pot (object to be heated).
