Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

If you are in a rotating system newton's law do not work .Adding a frictious force can make the law work. If an orbiting object is in constant freefall under gravity . Even elliptical planet orbits are examples of freefall under gravity. The force F which the planet feels; this force can be resolved into two components, centripetal force F_C and tangential force F_T.

The tangential force causes an acceleration(newton's second law) which decreases the speed and the centripetal force causes the velocity to turn. In there is circular orbit of radius R, F_T=0 and the centripetal force is F_C=Mv^2/R;

The centrifugal force would be a vector with magnitude Mv^2/R( same as that of centripetal) pointing away from the sun but it does not really exist.

The circumference of a circle is 12π meters. find the​ circle diameter.
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r=C so plugging in numbers we have
12pi= 2*pi*r so solving for r gives 12pi/2pi=r which gives 6=r so the radius of the circle is 6 meters since diameter is just 2*r this gives 2*r =12 meters so
Diameter = 12meters

A block of mass 2 kg slides down ramp 1 with a height of 3 m. It then slides for 1 m on a surface with a kinetic coefficient of
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

PE = 58.8,J

Explanation:

The potential energy at the top of ramp1 can be found by the application of the formula PE = mgh

Where PE =potential energy

m = mass of block = 2kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.80m/s²

h = height of the top of the ramp from its bottom where the block is initially positioned = 3m

PE = 2×9.8×3 = 58.8J

A man on the Moon observes two spaceships coming toward him from opposite directions at speeds of 0.600c and 0.600c. What is the
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left
