Yes. On a circular path, the direction of motion is constantly changing. Change of direction is acceleration, even at constant speed.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A ball travelling at a constant speed in a circular structure is said to be in uniformly circular motion. In such a motion, there is a constant force (called centripetal force) that constantly "pulls" the ball towards the centre of its circular trajectory.

Since the ball experiences a force, it also experiences an acceleration, which has the same direction of the force: towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

But you may ask: why is there acceleration, if the speed is constant?

The fact is that acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object, not only in its speed. And velocity includes both speed and direction: therefore, an acceleration can be caused either by a change in speed, or by a change in the direction of motion. In this case of uniformly circular motion, the speed is constant, but the direction of the ball is constantly changing, so the ball is experiencing an acceleration.

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?
astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s
