The characteristics of the velocity vector used to find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:

Acceleration is towards the center of the circle

The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.

Newton's Second Law establishes a relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies.

<h3>Centripetal acceleration. </h3>

In the case of circular motion there is a constant change in the direction of the velocity vector, even when its module remains constant, this change in direction points towards the center of the circle, so that the module is constant.

They indicate that the satellite is moving counterclockwise, therefore the speed must go to the left (counterclockwise) tangential to the circle.

In conclusion using the characteristics of the velocity vector we can find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:

Acceleration is towards the center of the circle

The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.

Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .

Find the resistance of wire of<br>0.65m Radius 0.25<br>and<br>resistivity 3x10-6 OHM<br>

densk [106]

Complete Question:

Find the resistance of a wire of length 0.65 m, radius 0.25 mm and resistivity 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

Answer:

Resistance = 9.95 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 0.65 m

Radius = 0.25 mm to meters = 0.00025 m

Resistivity = 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

To find the resistance of the wire;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

$Resistance = P \frac {L}{A}$

Where;

P is the resistivity of the material.
L is the length of the material.
A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of the wire.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area = 3.142 * (0.00025)²

Area = 3.142 * 6.25 * 10^{-8}

Area = 1.96 * 10^{-7} m²

Now, to find the resistance of the wire;

$Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * \frac {0.65}{1.96 * 10^{-7}}$

$Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * 3316326.531$

<em>Resistance = 9.95 Ohms </em>

Two electric charges A and B were placed facing each other at a distance of separation "r". The common electrostatic force betwe

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

From the formula of force:

$F = \frac{kAB}{ {r}^{2} } \\$

since AB and k are constants:

$F \: \alpha \: \frac{1}{ {r}^{2} } \\ \\ F = \frac{x}{ {r}^{2} }$

x is a constant of proportionality

• when force is 4N, separation distance is 1

$4 = \frac{x}{1} \\ x = 4$

therefore, equation becomes

$F = \frac{4}{ {r}^{2} } \\$

when r is doubled, r becomes 2. find F:

$F = \frac{4}{ {2}^{2} } \\ \\ F = \frac{4}{4} \\ \\ { \underline{force \: is \: 1N}}$
