The object having uniform velocity has zero acceleration, why?

1 answer:

8 0

Ans: It measures how much velocity is changing in a given time interval. If the body has uniform velocity, it means velocity is not changing. So the change in velocity is zero. In other words, its acceleration is zero.

How do you find the change in potential energy

ratelena [41]

P.E = mgh

This is the formula for potential energy.

This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.

If the net external force acting on a system is zero , then the total momentum of the system is zero

Neporo4naja [7]

If net external force acting on the system is zero, momentum is conserved. That means, initial and final momentum are same → total momentum of the system is zero.

A physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hol

il63 [147K]

Answer:

v = 12.1 m/s

Explanation:

When at the top of the circle, there are two forces acting on the combined mass of the rider and the motorcycle.
These are the force of gravity (downward) and the normal force, which is directed from the surface away from it, perpendicular to the surface.
In this case, as the motorcycle runs in the interior of the circle, at the top point this force is completely vertical, and is also downward.
Since the motorcycle is moving in a vertical circle, there must be a force, keeping the object moving around a circle.
This force is the centripetal force, aims towards the center of the circle, and is just the net force aiming in this direction at any point.
At the top point, this force is just the sum of the normal force and the weight of the mass of the rider and the motorcycle combined, as follows (we take the direction towards the center as positive):

$F_{c} = N + m*g (1)$

Now, we know that the centripetal force is related with the tangential speed at this point and the radius of the circle as follows:

$F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)$

Since the normal force takes any value as needed to make (1) equal to (2), if the speed diminishes, it will be needed less force to keep the equality valid.
In the limit, when the motorcyvle tires barely touch the surface, this normal force becomes zero.
In this condition, from (1) and (2), we can find the minimum possible value of the speed that still keeps the motorcycle touching the surface, as follows:
$v_{min} =\sqrt{r*g} =\sqrt{15.0m*9.8m/s2} = 12.1 m/s (3)$
