Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a

Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

The statement that indicates how the relationship between v and x changes is; As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x.

Reasons:

The energy given to the block by the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2$ = kinetic energy of

block = $0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

The force of the weight of the block on the string, $F = m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$

The energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$ = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2}$

Which gives;

$0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and c are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b is an ellipse

Therefore;

As x increases, v increases, however, the value of v obtained will be lesser than the same value of x as when the block is on a flat plane.

Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online

The possible question options are;

As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x

The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x

The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v

The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v

The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases
