The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?

Physics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]4 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

doesn't change (d)

Explanation:

The total energy in a system is the sum of Kinetic and Potential energies in a system, assuming that energy is not lost to an external procedure. Now, let us define what potential and kinetic energies are:

Potential Energy: this is energy at rest or stored energy

Kinetic Energy: this is energy in motion

In a simple harmonic motion of a mass-spring system, there is no dissipative force, hence the total energy is equal to the potential and kinetic energies. The total energy is not changed rather, it varies between potential and kinetic energies depending on the point at which the mass is. The kinetic energy is greatest at the point of lowest amplitude (highest velocity) and lowest at the point of greatest amplitude (lowest velocity), while potential energy is greatest at the point of highest amplitude (lowest velocity) and lowest at the point of smallest amplitude ( highest velocity). However, at every point, the sum of kinetic and potential energies equals total energy.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 43 and its mass number is 164?
Drupady [299]
Hello, 
The mass number is protons+neutrons=mass number. In this case, we have protons+nuetron=164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43+neutrons=164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get nuetrons=121. Hope this helps!

Two identical positive charges exert a repulsive force of 6.4x10^-9 N when separated by a distance of 3.8x10^10 m. Calculate the
aleksley [76]

Answer:F = kq2/d2 ⇒

q = √(Fd2/k)

q = d √(F/k)

d = 3.8 x 10-10 m

F = 6.4 x 10-9 N

Look up k in your physics book in appropriate units, and plug in the numbers. You should get q in coulombs.
