Which force is always directed toward the center of a circle?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is D. centripetal force
This definition of centripetal force is a force acting towards the center of an object moving in a circular motion. Acceleration is the rate of which velocity changes over a period of time. If you pick a point on say a rotating circle and find the tangential velocity at each point it goes through, the acceleration would be towards the middle.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The bulb is not powered because the negative end of the battery is not connected to the electric current,making it dysfunctional. The electrons have to flow through the positive and negative ends of the battery in order for it to work.

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small

Hitman42 [59]

When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

Plan an experiment to measure the ideal mechanical advantage of a three-hole punch. (a) What materials would you need? (b) What

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

B) Identify the lengths involved ,

Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

Explanation:

<u>a) Materials involved includes :</u>

Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

Identify the forces acting on the three-hole punch which are Input and output forces

Identify the points where they act

<u>B) procedures involved </u>

The mechanical advantage = output force / input force

step one: Identify the lengths involved

assuming no friction or relatively small friction \

mechanical advantage can be calculated as : Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2
