Answer:
1- The acceleration of the object is larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object in a circular path is
As can be seen from the equation, if the radius of the circle is decreases, the magnitude of the acceleration increases.
As for the direction of the acceleration, it is always towards the center, and it is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.
Answer:
1. 3 m
2. 27 s
Explanation:
1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop. If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"
Given:
v₀ = 33 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -5.5 m/s²
Unknown: Δx
To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for. In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time. So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.
Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
Substitute and solve:
(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx
Δx = 3 m
2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m. How long did it take to accelerate?"
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 4.8 m/s²
Δx = 1800 m
Unknown: t
Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²
Substitute and solve:
1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²
t ≈ 27 s
The power dissipated across a component can be calculated through the formula P=I^2xR
Substituting the values in we get P=(0.5)^2x10=2.5W
