Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 1 kg

It moves in a circle of radius 0.5 m with a speed of 5 m/s

To find,

The direction of the acceleration.

Solution,

Whenever an object moves in a circular path, the only force that acts on its is centripetal force which is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration acts in the direction of force. It acts along the radius of the circular path. In this figure, the direction of the acceleration is shown at point d.

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?

levacccp [35]

Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left

An unknown fluid flows at a speed of 31 m/s. Suppose the fluid has a mass of 47 kg runs at this speed. What is the fluid’s kinet

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

22583.5J

Explanation:

KE=1/2 mv^2

=1/2*47Kg*(31m/s^2)

=23.5Kg * 961m/s^2

=22583.5J

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?

SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a meteoroid.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a meteor.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a meteorite.
