What is centripetal force?

Physics

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 5 kg block is sliding down a plane inclined at 30^0 with a constant velocity of 4 m/s. To determine the coefficient of frictio
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.
Sholpan [36]

Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.

Pani-rosa [81]
<span>Answer: The moments of inertia are listed on p. 223, and a uniform cylinder through its center is: I = 1/2mr2 so I = 1/2(4.80 kg)(.0710 m)2 = 0.0120984 kgm2 Since there is a frictional torque of 1.20 Nm, we can use the angular equivalent of F = ma to find the angular deceleration: t = Ia -1.20 Nm = (0.0120984 kgm2)a a = -99.19 rad/s/s Now we have a kinematics question to solve: wo = (10,000 Revolutions/Minute)(2p radians/revolution)(1 minute/60 sec) = 1047.2 rad/s w = 0 a = -99.19 rad/s/s Let's find the time first: w = wo + at : wo = 1047.2 rad/s; w = 0 rad/s; a = -99.19 rad/s/s t = 10.558 s = 10.6 s And the displacement (Angular) Now the formula I want to use is only in the formula packet in its linear form, but it works just as well in angular form s = (u+v)t/2 Which is q = (wo+w)t/2 : wo = 1047.2 rad/s; w = 0 rad/s; t = 10.558 s q = (125.7 rad/s+418.9 rad/s)(3.5 s)/2 = 952.9 radians But the problem wanted revolutions, so let's change the units: q = (5528.075087 radians)(revolution/2p radians) = 880. revolutions</span>
