Well let's see:  Centripetal force = (speed²) / (radius of the circle)

So when there's a centripetal force driving an object in a circular path, the square of the object's speed is directly proportional to the force, and the radius of the circle is inversely proportional to the force.

So this means that . . .

-- if the centripetal force increases, then the object can whiz around a smaller circle at the same speed, and

-- if the centripetal force decreases, then the object will move out to a bigger circle at the same speed.

a rock is dropped from a height of 80 m and is in free fall what is the velocity of as it reaches the ground 4.0 seconds later
Marta_Voda [28]
Velocity = displacement (distance)/time

v=80m/4s

v=20m/s

velocity = 20 meters per second

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

Use newton's law to explain the vertical acceleration of a projectile
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion: This law states that an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion except it's acted upon by an external force. In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity will remain unchanged because we ignore air resistance since no force is acting in that horizontal direction.

Newton's second law of motion: This law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration. In projectile the force acts downwards, thus f = mg.

But g = a since internal forces will cancel out.

Thus, F = ma
