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.

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

                = (176 g) / (64 cm³) 

                =         2.75 gm/cm³ .

If you were to travel from the equator to the higher latitudes (near either pole) on Saturn, the differential rotation would cau
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Saturn's differential rotation will cause the length of a day measures to be longer by 0.4 hours

Explanation:

Differential rotation occurs due to the difference in angular velocities of an object as we move along the latitude of the or as we move into different depth of the object, indicating the observed object is in a fluid form

Saturn made almost completely of gas and has differential motion given as follows

Rotation at the equator = 10 hours 14 minutes

Rotation at high altitude = 10 hours 38 minutes

Therefore;

The differential rotation = 10 hours 38 minutes - 10 hours 14 minutes

The differential rotation = 24 minutes = 24 minutes × 1 hour/(60 minutes) = 0.4 hours

The differential rotation = 0.4 hours

Therefore, the measured day at the higher altitude will be 0.4 longer than at the equator.
