We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
An example is that of uniform circular motion.

Answer:

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.

6.6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to theright along a horizontal, frictionless surfaceby a constant, horizontal force of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

v = 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block, M = 6.6 Kg

horizontal force, F = 12.2 N

distance, L = 2.5 m

initial speed = 0 m/s

speed of the block,v = ?

we now

Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy.

Work done = Force x displacement

W = Δ K E

Δ K E = Force x displacement

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2= F .s$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.6 \times v^2 - 0= 12.2\times 2.5$

3.3 v² = 30.5

v² = 9.242

v = 3.04 m/s

speed of the block is equal to 3.04 m/s

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo

ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j + 5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)

M₀ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]$

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
