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 wheel moves in the xy plane in such a way that the location of its center is given by the equations xo = 12t3 and yo = R = 2,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s is $P = 104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}$

Explanation:

The free-body diagram below shows the interpretation of the question; from the diagram , the wheel that is rolling in a clockwise directio will have two velocities at point P;

the peripheral velocity that is directed downward $(-V_y)$ along the y-axis

the linear velocity $(V_x)$ that is directed along the x-axis

Now;

$V_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t^3+2) = 36 t^2$

$V_x = 36(1.7)^2\\\\V_x = 104.04\ ft/s$

Also,

$-V_y = R* \omega$

where $\omega$ (angular velocity) = $\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8t^4)$

$-V_y = 2*32t^3)\\\\\\-V_y = 2*32(1.7^3)\\\\-V_y = 314.432 \ ft/s$

∴ the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s is $P = 104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}$

FM radio ________________. a. had a somewhat shorter range than AM radio, but better sound quality. b. was widely adopted in the

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(A) FM Radio had a somewhat shorter ranger than AM radio, but better sound quality.

Explanation:

FM Radio was invented in 1933 by Edwin Armstrong who was an American engineer. FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation.

FM is used for most broadcasts of music and FM radio stations use a very high-frequency range of radio frequencies.

In FM Radio, the sound is transmitted through changes in frequency. Both FM and AM radio signals experience frequent change in amplitude, they are far less noticeable on FM.

When switching between stations, FM antenna is alternating between different frequencies, and not amplitudes and this produces a much clearer sound and allows for smoother transitions with little to no audible static.

FM signals can be interfered by barriers and this could affect the signal strength. FM Radio signals are more clearer in a mountainous area that has no barrier.

AM radio was able to carry signals farther than AM radio.

Without fluid friction, all objects accelerate at?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Acceleration of gravity= $9.8m/s/s$

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law-acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object.

All objects usually free fall at the same acceleration of $9.8m/s/s$ -this regardless of their mass. This acceleration is known as acceleration of gravity.
