What is centripetal force?

Physics

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.

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W
Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

A 11.0 kg satellite has a circular orbit with a period of 1.80 h and a radius of 7.50 × 106 m around a planet of unknown mass. I
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows

Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60

= 6480

T² = \frac{4\times \pi^2\times r^3}{GM} where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.

6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM

GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²

= 3.96 X 10¹⁴

Expression for acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite

20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²

R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20

= 1.98 x 10¹³ m

R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m
