The object will sail away in a straight line ... continuing in the same direction it was going when the centripetal force stopped.
B. F<em>spring = k(triangle)</em> x
Yes.
-- 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.
It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or turning.
-- If an object is NOT moving in straight line at constant speed,
then its motion is accelerated.
-- In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,
the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
Answer:
0.85 c
Explanation:
When the two travel at right angles to each other , their relative velocity is given by the hypotenuse formed by the x and y direction velocities.
Relative velocity of the two protons is given as
If v = 3/5 c , then the relative speed = (3/5c) =0.85 c
