What is centripetal force?

Physics
1 answer:
daser333 [38]3 years ago
8 0
The centripetal force is force acting on a body in circular motion. In circular motion, velocity is always on tangent and if we took 2 different positions on a circle, the change on velocity is a vector pointing in the middle of circle. In circular motion velocity is constant, and acceleration lies on radius of circle pointing to te middle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration, and the force is centripetal.

Which one of newton's laws does a doll riding a dog represent
strojnjashka [21]
I believe it would best represent Newton’s first law; an object tends to stay at rest and an object tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the dog stops walking, the doll will continue to go forward because there is no unbalanced force acting in it.

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

P=981\ W

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal speed of treadmill, v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}
  • weight carried, w=588.6\ N
  • grade of the treadmill, G\%=10\%

<u>Now the power can be given by:</u>

P=v.w

P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3} (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

P=981\ W
