Think of something from everyday life that follows a two-dimensional path. It could be a kicked football, a bus that's turning a

corner, or a person jogging around a track, etc. Describe your scenario in detail, and then identify the acceleration at each point. When is the acceleration vector not aligned with the direction of travel

Answer:

Let us consider the case of a bus turning around a corner with a constant velocity, as the bus approaches the corner, the velocity at say point A is Va, and is tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve. Also, the velocity at another point say point B is Vb and is also tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve.<em> </em><em>Although the velocity at point A and the velocity at point B have the same magnitude, their directions are different (velocity is a vector quantity), and hence we have a change in velocity. By definition, an acceleration occurs when we have a change in velocity, so the bus experiences an acceleration at the corner whose direction is away from the center of the corner</em>.

The acceleration is not aligned with the direction of travel because<em> the change in velocity is at a tangent (directed away) to the direction of travel of the bus.</em>

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a) 5200 N  b) 8800 N

Explanation:

a) tension in the cable when it was being lowered to the sea floor = weight of the object which acts downward ( equals the tension in the cable when the craft was stationary in opposite direction)  - the drag force which will act upward =  7000 - 1800 = 5200 N

b) tension in the cable when the craft was being raised since the tension will act upward and the drag force and the weight will act downward = 7000 + 1800 = 8800 N

Describe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each ar
liberstina [14]

Answer:

 ∑ τ =0,  L₀ = L_{f}

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

    In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

 

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

          ∑ τ =0

                L₀ = L_{f}

              I₀ w₀ = I w

Differences between concave and convex meniscus​
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

A concave meniscus,(normally seen) occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container, as with mercury and glass.

The current in a lamp is 0.5 ampere when it is plugged into a standard wall outlet. What is the resistance of the lamp when it i
lidiya [134]

The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).
