Explain why a car driving around a curve at a constant speed is accelerating.

Physics

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

But the fact is that an accelerating object is an object that is changing it’s velocity.. for this reason , it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing .

Three children are struggling and pulling on a single toy. Two of the children, Abe and Barry, are EACH (individually) pulling w
3241004551 [841]

Solution :

c). $\vec{F}_A = $ force applied by Abe

   $\vec{F}_B = $ force applied by Barry

   $\vec{F}_E = $ force applied by Eric

   $\vec{F}_R = $ Resultant force

$\vec{F}_A $  in the vector form can be written as :

         $\vec{F}_A = 0 \hat{i} + 60 \hat{j}$

$\vec{F}_B $  in the vector form can be written as :

         $\vec{F}_B = 60 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j}$

The resultant,

$\vec{F}_R= \vec{F}_A+\vec{F}_B $

     $=(0 \hat i + 60 \hat j)+(60 \hat i + 0\hat j)$

    $=60 \hat i + 60 \hat j$

$|\vec{F}_R| = \sqrt{60^2+60^2}$

        = 84.853 N

d). As the three forces are in equilibrium, therefore,

$|\vec F_E| = |\vec F_R|$

$|\vec F_E| =84.853 \ N$

e). The direction of the force exerted by Eric is exactly opposite to the direction of the resultant force.

The direction of the resultant force is :

$\theta = \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{F_y}{F_x}\right)$

   $ = \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{60}{60}\right)$

  = 45°  north east

The direction of the force E is  45° west or  45° south west.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

v=1.54\,\,metres\,\,per\,\,second

Explanation:

The given equation is x=x_0+vt where x_0 denotes initial time in the stopwatch and x denotes the distance covered by car.

As the judge starts her watch at the instant the car passes the 2.0 meter mark  (x_0=2) and the judge reads 3.9 seconds on her stopwatch when the car passes the 8.0 meter mark.

Put x_0=2,\,,\,x=8\,,\,t=3.9 in equation x=x_0+vt

8=2+3.9t\\8-2=3.9t\\6=3.9v\\v=\frac{6}{3.9}\\ v=1.54\,\,metres\,\,per\,\,second

Answer: The acceleration of an object will decrease

Explanation: This happens as if the mass of an object increases then the acceleration of the body decreases as acceleartion is directly proportional to the mass of the body by Newton's 2nd law F=MA we can say the more mass an object has the more net force needs to be applied to make it start accelerating
