Describe a situation where an object has a changing velocity but constant speed.

1 answer:

8 0

To summarize, an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed. While the speed of the object isconstant, its velocity is changing. Velocity, being a vector, has a constantmagnitude but a changing direction.

When is your kinetic energy the least when swinging on a park swing?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.

Explanation:

SO YOU HAVE THE LEAST KINETIC ENERGY AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE SWING WHEN IT'S NOT ACTIVE

You're driving your new sports car at 80 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 540 m. What fraction of yo

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

A young child is playing with a very flexible hose. She is moving her hand back and forth making transverse type waves. She move

aev [14]

Answer:

The waves will increase in frequency

Explanation:

As the young girl moves her hand back and forth faster, it will be observed that number of back and forth motions increase every second. Also the distance between crest and trough of the wave (wavelength) will be reduced as she moves her hand back and forth faster.

Frequency = number of turns (moves) per second

The waves will increase in frequency since there will be more number of back and forth motions in every second.

Also,

The distance between crest and trough will be reduced, which implies that there will be decrease in waves wavelength.

This can also be verified using wave equation;

V = Fλ

At constant velocity,

F ∝ ¹/λ

Thus, decrease in wavelength will cause increase in frequency of the waves.

The right answer is : The waves will increase in frequency

Which statement bet explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between th

Nataliya [291]

Coulomb's Law: Force = k x q1x q2 divided distance square
where k=9x10^9 , q1 and q2 are the charge
So if you distance is halved, your force is stronger by 4 times
and if you distance is doubled, your force is 1/4
Ask me again if you aren't clear :)
