Since an object moving in uniform circular motion keeps a constant speed, there is no force necessary to keep it in motion.

Answer:

false

Explanation:As mentioned earlier in this lesson, an object moving in a circle is experiencing an acceleration. Even if moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed, there is still a change in velocity and subsequently an acceleration. This acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle. And in accord with Newton's second law of motion, an object which experiences an acceleration must also be experiencing a net force. The direction of the net force is in the same direction as the acceleration. So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration. This is sometimes referred to as the centripetal force requirement. The word centripetal (not to be confused with the F-word centrifugal) means center seeking. For object's moving in circular motion, there is a net force acting towards the center which causes the object to seek the center.

To understand the importance of a centripetal force, it is important to have a sturdy understanding of the Newton's first law of motion - the law of inertia. The law of inertia states that ...

... objects in motion tend to stay in motion with the same speed and the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path. Moving objects will tend to naturally travel in straight lines; an unbalanced force is only required to cause it to turn. Thus, the presence of an unbalanced force is required for objects to move in circles.

Answer:

False.

It would have been needed a push of force to start along with a way to keep it in motion.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

            Στ = 0

            W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

           x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

            x₂ = \frac{M_1g  }{m_2 g} \ x_1

           

let's calculate

           x₂ = \frac{100}{75}  \ 1

           x₂ = 1.33 m
