What direction is centrifugal force to the force that holds the object in a round path of motion?

1 answer:

8 0

C

Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force on a mass when it is rotated. ... Since Earth rotates around a fixed axis, the direction of centrifugal force is always outward away from the axis. Thus it is opposite to the direction of gravity at the equator; at Earth's poles it is zero.

rickey approaches third base. He dives head first, hitting the ground at 6.75 m/s and reaching the base at 5.91 m/s in 2.5 secon

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

15.825 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.75 m/s

v = Final velocity = 5.91 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{5.91-6.75}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.336\ m/s^2$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.91^2-6.75^2}{2\times -0.336}\\\Rightarrow s=15.825\ m$

The distance Rickey slides across the ground before touching the base is 15.825 m

Helicopter blades withstand tremendous stresses. In addition to supporting the weight of a helicopter, they are spun at rapid ra

BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 3.1 m

The helicopter rotates, the length of helicopter will become the radius of circular path, r = 3.1 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, $\omega=280\ rev/min=29.32\ rad/s$

(a) The centripetal acceleration in terms of angular velocity is given by :

$a_c=r\times \omega^2$

$a_c=3.1\times (29.32)^2$

$a_c=2664.95\ m/s^2$

(b) Let v is the linear speed of the tip. The relation between the linear and angular speed is given by :

$v=r\times \omega$

$v=3.1\times 29.32$

v = 90.89 m/s

$\dfrac{v_{tip}}{v_{sound}}=\dfrac{90.89}{340}=0.267$

Hence, this is the required solution.

When thorium (90 protons) ejects a beta particle, the resulting nucleus has

Sav [38]

Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

The actual answer is '91 protons'. In fact, the beta decay of the thorium-234 is the following:

${}_{90}Th \rightarrow {}_{-1}e+{}_{91}Pa$

where inside the nucleus of Thorium (90 protons), a neutron turns into an electron (the beta particle) + a proton. Therefore, the resulting nucleus (which is Protoactinium) has a total of 90+1 = 91 protons.

So, the correct answer would be '91 protons'.
