Explain how an object moving at a constant speed can have a nonzero acceleration

2 answers:

8 0

Its very simple if a body is moving in circle the magnitude of its velocity remain constant but its direction changes because velocity is directed towards tangent and at every point in a cirlce its direction will be different (along tangent) so velocity is not uniform .As acceleration is the rate change of velocity so it will be non zero because velocity is changing due to its direction.

Acceleration depends on the change in an object’s velocity. An object moving at a constant speed can experience a nonzero acceleration if the direction of the object’s motion changes.

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 2.50 mT at a distance of 12.6 cm from a long straight current carrying wire, what is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

Explanation:

Given;

first magnetic field at first distance, B₁ = 2.50 mT

first distance, r₁ = 12.6 cm = 0.126 m

Second magnetic field at Second distance, B₂ = ?

Second distance, r₂ = ?

Magnetic field for a straight wire is given as;

$B = \frac{\mu I}{2 \pi r}$

Where:

μ is permeability

B is magnetic field

I is current flowing in the wire

r distance to the wire

$Let \ \frac{\mu I}{2\pi} \ be \ constant; = K\\\\B = \frac{K}{r} \\\\K = Br\\\\B_1r_1 = B_2r_2\\\\B_2 =\frac{B_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\B_2 = \frac{2.5*10^{-3} *0.126}{0.198} \\\\B_2 = 1.591 *10^{-3}\ T\\\\B_2 = 1.591 \ mT$

Therefore, the magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

When would the temperature and thermal energy of an object differ?

kodGreya [7K]

The difference between temperature and thermal energy is that temperature measures the average kinetic speed of molecule and thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a given substance.

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2kg, is traveling along the line y=6.00m

frutty [35]

Answer:

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

mA = 55.2 Kg

vA = 3.45 m/s

rA = 6.00 m

mB = 62.4 Kg

vB = 4.23 m/s

rB = 3.00 m

mC = 72.1 Kg

vC = 4.75 m/s

rC = - 5.00 m

then we apply the equation

L = (mv x r)

⇒ LA = mA*vA x rA = 55.2 *(3.45 i)x(6 j) = (1142.64 k) Kgm/s

⇒ LB = mB*vB x rB = 62.4 *(4.23 j)x(3 i) = (- 791.856 k) Kgm/s

⇒ LC = mC*vC x rC = 72.1 *(- 4.75 j)x(- 5 i) = (- 1712.375 k) Kgm/s

Finally, the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin is

L = LA + LB + LC = (1142.64 - 791.856 -1712.375) k Kgm/s

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s
