That statement is false. It's exactly the opposite direction.

In circular motion, the "centripetal" force ... and therefore the centripetal acceleration ... points TOWARD the center.

Why is it important to understand forces?
yanalaym [24]
If people never learned forces, there would be a major gap in the world and how it works, let alone in physics...
as much as you don't wanna admit it, force is everywhere and you see it if not use it EVERY day in your life, something as simple as driving a car down the street or too school, your using force of your wheels to move your car, which is moving you

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

Answer:

The box will experience an acceleration.

Explanation:

Here, 2 N and 3 N forces are acting opposite to each other. In this case, the net force experience by the box would be (3-2)N = 1 N towards right. Since acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, therefore the box will experience an acceleration.
