Much of what we know about the world today is built upon the work of Sir Isaac Newton, a scientist who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. He built upon the earlier work of Galileo to develop laws for how motion works in the world. He summarized his work in three laws.

<span>First Law: A moving object tends to keep moving at the same speed and in the same direction unless a force acts on it. An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless a force acts on it.</span>

What does this mean?

It's pretty obvious that a stopped object doesn't move unless someone moves it. The second sentence, however, is harder to believe. It says that objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless stopped by a force. Said another way, until someone or something makes an effort to stop them, they'll keep moving. This tendency of an object to keep moving is called inertia. This is sometimes hard to see in the real world. When you throw a ball, it's going to stop when it hits the ground, even if it rolls for a while. This is because the air that the ball moves through pushes back on it and exerts a force. This pushing back is called friction. The ground also exerts a frictional force as the surface of the ball rubs against the surface of the ground. Without friction a thrown ball would roll forever.

How can I test it?

It's easy to test the first part. Set a ball in a stable position. It doesn't move. If you set it on a hill, it will roll down. That's because gravity exerts a downward force on it.

<span>Now let's build something to test the second part.</span>

Four weightlifters (A-D) enter a competition. The mass, distance, and time of their lifts are shown in the table.
siniylev [52]

Let Pa, Pb, Pc, and Pd be the powers delivered by weightlifters A, B, C, and D, respectively.

Use this equation to determine each power value:

P = W÷Δt

P is the power, W is the work done by the weightlifter, and Δt is the elapsed time.

A) Determining Pa:

Pa = W÷Δt

The weightlifter does work to lift the weight up a certain distance. Therefore the work done is equal to the weight's gain in gravitational potential energy. The equation for gravitational PE is

PE = mgh

PE is the potential energy, m is the mass of the weight, g is the acceleration of objects due to earth's gravity, and h is the distance the weight was lifted.

We can equate W = PE = mgh, therefore we can make the following substitution:

Pa = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 100.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 2.25m

Δt = 0.151s

Plug in the values and solve for Pa

Pa = 100.0×9.81×2.25÷0.151

<u>Pa = 14600W</u> (watt is the SI derived unit of power)

B) Determining Pb:

Let us use our new equation derived in part A to solve for Pb:

Pb = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 150.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.76m

Δt = 0.052s

Plug in the values and solve for Pb

Pb = 150.0×9.81×1.76÷0.052

<u>Pb = 49800W</u>

C) Determining Pc:

Pc = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 200.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.50m

Δt = 0.217s

Plug in the values and solve for Pc

Pc = 200.0×9.81×1.50÷0.217

<u>Pc = 13600W</u>

D) Determining Pd:

Pd = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 250.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.25m

Δt = 0.206s

Plug in the values and solve for Pd

Pd = 250.0×9.81×1.25÷0.206

<u>Pd = 14900W</u>

Compare the following power values:

Pa = 14600W, Pb = 49800W, Pc = 13600W, Pd = 14900W

Pc is the lowest value.

Therefore, weightlifter C delivers the least power.

A car is moving at a velocity of 25 km/h and increases velocity to 1200 km/h in 2 min. what is the acceleration?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a = 2.72 [m/s2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f} =v_{o} + a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 1200 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [km/h]

t = time = 2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.0333 [h]

1200 = 25 + (a*0.0333)

a = 35250.35 [km/h2]

if we convert these units to units of meters per second squared

35250.35[\frac{km}{h^{2} }]*(\frac{1}{3600^{2} })*[\frac{h^{2} }{s^{2} } ]*(\frac{1000}{1} )*[\frac{m}{km} ] = 2.72 [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship
