Complete Question
For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:
a. a car making a turn
b. a child swinging around a pole
c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel
d. a rock swinging on a string
e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.
Answer:
Considering a
The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \
i.e 
where 
is the coefficient of static friction
Considering b
The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys hand on the pole
Considering c
The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight
Considering d
The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string
Considering e
The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun
Explanation:
Answer: 50J
Explanation:
Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.
Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.
37.5 + 12.5 = 50J
Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.
Answer:
C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added
Explanation:
The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.
- Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
- As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
- They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
- Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
- Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
- This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas
Answer:
Work cause a change in kinetic energy
Answer:
The heat causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.
