Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.

How to find wavelength

Andrews [41]

If the wavelength is given, the energy can be determined by first using the wave equation (c = λ × ν) to find the frequency, then using Planck's equation to calculate energy. Use the equations above to answer the following questions. 1. Ultraviolet radiation has a frequency of 6.8 × 1015 1/s.

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

$F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}$

here given that

$F_1 = 130.0 N$

$F_2 = 4500.0 N$

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

$F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}$

$F_{net} = 4501.9 N$

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor

Which of the following statements about electromagnetic radiation are TRUE? a. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportion

Kobotan [32]

Answer: A) Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

From the wave equation;

Velocity= frequency × wavelength

If the above equation is rearranged making the frequency the subject of formula, it would give;

Frequency= velocity/ wavelength.

From the above equation we see that frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This means that for every increase in wavelength there would be a decrease in frequency, and for every increase in frequency there is a reduction in wavelength.

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?

sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: $6.0 m/s^2$

2) Mass of burned fuel: $0.10\cdot 10^4 kg$

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude $F_g = mg$ , in the downward direction, where

$m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg$ is the rocket's mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

$T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

$T-mg=ma$ (1)
