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.

What is the relationship between the mass of the objects and the force exerted?

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the two interacting objects, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The factors G, M, and r are the same for all masses at the surface of the Earth.

A4) A straight wire that is 0.60 m long is carrying a current of 2.0 A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.3

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wire, L = 0.6 m

Current flowing inside the wire, I = 2 A

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.3 T

Force experienced by the wire in the magnetic field, F = 0.18 N

To find,

The angle made by the wire with the magnetic field.

Solve,

We know that the magnetic force acting on the wire inside the magnetic field is given by :

$F=ILB\ sin\theta$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{F}{ILB}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{0.18}{2\times 0.6\times 0.3}$

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

Therefore, the wire makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to magnetic field.

When an unbalanced force acts on an object,

Gwar [14]

When balanced forces follow up on an object, the object won't move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.
