What is centripetal force?

Physics
1 answer:
daser333 [38]3 years ago

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.

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.49 m/s overtakes, collides, and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using conservation law of momentum

let m₁ = mass of the railroad, initial u₁ = 3.49 m/s

let m₂ = mass of one of the coupled car,  u₂= 1.28m/s

let m₃ = mass of the second car u₃ = 1.28 m/s

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ = v ( m₁ + m₂ + m₃)

since the masses are the same

m₁ = m₂ = m₃

m ( 3.49 + 1.28 + 1.28) = 3m v

6.05 m = 3 mv

v = 6.05 m / 3m = 2.0167 m/s

b) kinetic energy lost = energy before collision - energy after collision

= (0.5m₁u₁² + 0.5 ( m₁+m₂) u₂² - 0.5 ( m₁ + m₂ + m₃) v

= (6.58365 + 1.7712) - 6.5951 = 1.76J

A 2.0 kg block is given an initial speed of 8.0 m/s up an incline plane of angle 30° where the coefficient of friction is 0.35.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of the block = m = 2 kg.

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 8 m/s

Angle of the incline = α = 30°

Coefficient of friction = μ = 0.35

Distance moved up the incline is calculated using the work energy theorem.

Work done by the net force =  change in kinetic energy of the object.

Net work = work done by friction + work done by the gravity component.

(- mg sin 30 - μ mg cos 30 ) d = 1/2m v_{f}^{2} - 1/2 m v_{i}^{2}

m cancels out when divided on both sides with m.

- [(9.8 sin 30 - ( 0.35  × 9.8 × cos 30) ] d = 1/2 ( 0² - 8² )

⇒ -7.87 d = -32

⇒ Distance traveled up the incline = d = 4.0658 m = 4.1 m

Over the time interval after a difference in potential is applied between the ends of a wire, what would happen to the drift vel
Dmitrij [34]

The the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

Assume we could increase the average time between collisions in a typical metal to get to a limit of zero resistance. The free electrons would therefore be continuously accelerated by a constant applied voltage, according to the classical paradigm of conduction. Both the current and the drift speed would gradually pick up over time.

Although it is not the scenario implied by the question, it is possible to switch to zero resistance by using a superconducting wire instead of the usual metal. In this scenario, the maximum current is constrained, the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice, and it is difficult to produce a potential difference across the superconductor.
