What direction does centripetal acceleration point?

Physics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)

-A 180 kg hippo is riding a bicycle at a speed of 6.0
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.0675 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = force exert by the brake, v = final speed, u = initial speed m = mass of the bicycle, t = time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = m(v-u)/F................... Equation 2

Given: m = 180 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop), F = -1600 N ( agianst the dirction of motion)

Substitute these value into equation 2

t = 180(0-6.0)/-1600

t = -1080/-1600

t = 0.0675 seconds.

A truck driving east on a highway goes from the 42 mi marker to the 48 mi
Leona [35]

Average velocity is 1..2 mi/min east

Explanation:

  • Velocity = Displacement/Time

Here, displacement = 48 mi - 42 mi = 6 miles

Time = 5 minutes

⇒ Average Velocity = 6/5 = 1.2 mi/min east

A tissue sample at 275 K is submerged in 2 kg of liquid nitrogen at 70 K for cryopreservation. The final temperature of the nitr
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The heat capacity of a sample is 37.7 J/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Submerged temperature of tissue sample = 275 K

Mass of liquid nitrogen= 2 kg

Temperature = 70 K

Final temperature = 75 K

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

Q=mc(T_{f}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

Q=2\times1.039\times10^{3}\times(75-70)

Q=10390\ J

We need to calculate the heat capacity of a sample

Using formula of heat capacity

\Delta S=\dfrac{Q}{T}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta S=\dfrac{10390}{275}

\Delta S=37.7\ J/K

Hence, The heat capacity of a sample is 37.7 J/K.
