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.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.

Explanation:

  • When on a cold morning a person wearing cotton/ polyester cloth walking on the carpet moves toward his car then due to friction between the feet and the carpet there are transfer of electrons from the carpet to our feet, and since our body is a good conductor of electricity the charges spread throughout on the surface of or body.
  • When the person brings his hands close to the neutral conducting door of the car it gets induced with equal intensity of opposite charge to our hands thus having a concentration of positive charges near to the hand on the car's door is developed as a result of polarization within the conductor.

How does an electroscope detect negative static electricity
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<span> An electroscope that might have a static charge is tested on a metal surface. From there, the charges move to the metal and straight to the foil leaves. If they repel, or move away from each other, that means they have identical charges. This applies for both positive and negative static electricity.

umka21 [38]

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N
