What occurs when an object travels in a curved path

1 answer:

7 0

<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by
</span> $F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ <span>
where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>

An object is swung in a horizontal circle on a length of string that is 0.93 m long. Its acceleration is 26.36 m/s2. What is the

Answer:

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.

Explanation:

From statement we know that the object is experimenting an Uniform Circular Motion, in which acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, is entirely centripetal and is expressed as:

$a = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{T^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$T$ - Period of rotation, measured in seconds.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

If we know that $a = 26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $R = 0.93\,m$ , then the time taken by the object to complete one revolution is:

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{a}$

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{R}{a} }$

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.93\,m}{26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }$

$T \approx 1.180\,s$

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.

A 34-kg child runs with a speed of 2.8 m/s tangential to the rim of a stationary merrygo-round. The merry-go-round has a momentu

tekilochka [14]

Answer: $0.43\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of child $m=34\ kg$

speed of child is $v=2.8\ m/s$

Moment of inertia of merry go round is $I=510\ kg.m^2$

radius $r=2.31\ m$

Conserving the angular momentum

$\Rightarrow mvr=I\omega \\\Rightarrow 34\times 2.8\times 2.31=510\times \omega\\\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{219.912}{510}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.43\ rad/s$

inessss [21]

The vectors adition we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction

Parameters given

Force of an astronaut Fₓ = 42 N

Angle θ = 15º

To find

Force another astronaut

The force is a vector magnitude for which the addition of vectors must be used, a very efficient method to perform this sum is to add the components of each vector and devise constructing the resulting vector using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's use trigonometry to find the other force

tan θ = $\frac{F_y}{F_x}$

F_ y = Fₓ tan θ

let's calculate

F_y = 42 tan 15

F_y = 11.25 N

Using the summation of vectors we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction
