The speed is changing its direction all the time. There
is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called
centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no
acceleration.
This is the general formula for acceleration
a = dv/dt
When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change
in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt
tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference
between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity
(the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).
There is a formula (which can be deducted from the
previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:
a = v^2/r
Let’s talk about the units:
v is in m/s
r is in m
so v^2/r
is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2
which is the same unit as dv/dt:
dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
Answer:
h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)
Explanation:
This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy
Kinetic energy =
m
Plug in the numbers =
(4.0)(
)
Solve = 2(64) = 128 J
Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.
Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)
Kinetic energy = Potential Energy
128 J = 39.2h
h = 3.26 m
h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)
Answer:
The correct answer is;
Change of phase.
Explanation:
When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.
The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.
The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.
Answer:
<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>
The ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.
Explanation:
<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>
At the bottom the ball has the following angular speed:

Now, we need to find the distance traveled by the ball (L) by using θ=28° and h(height) = 2 m:
To find the revolutions we need the time, which can be found using the following equation:
(1)
So first, we need to find the acceleration:
(2)
By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

Since it starts from rest (v₀ = 0):

Finally, we can find the revolutions:

Therefore, the ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.
I hope it helps you!
