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

Physics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 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.

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x
romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

v(x)=y'(x)

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)

We are given the function for y

y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x

And the acceleration is a(x)=v'(x)=12.8

What potential increase vac must an electron be accelerated through if the most energetic photon it can emit will scatter off of
nikitadnepr [17]
Referring to Compton scattering 
Δλ = h/m₀c (I- cos Ф)
λ' =λ = (0,0242×10⁻¹⁰) (1- cos 60°)
λ= λ' -(0.0242 × 10⁻¹⁰) (1- cos 60°)

7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m

The increased potential is given by 
Vₐc = hc/eλ = 6.625 × 10 ⁻³⁴ J,s) ( 3× 10⁸ m/s ( 1.6 ˣ 10 ⁻¹⁰C)
(7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m)
