The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.

So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.

So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.

In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.

This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.

Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

Resolving horizontally. :

$\sum d_{x} = - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\ { \underline{d _{x} = - 5.702 \: m}} \\ \\ \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0 \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y} = - 11.476 \: m}}$

therefore, for resultant:

$d = \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x} {}^{2} }$

substitute:

$d = \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} + {( - 11.476)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{164.211} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}$

A track coach records how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters the track coach is recording what dimension of behavior

melamori03 [73]

Behavior has at least six dimensions, which are: frequency, duration, latency, topography, locus, and force. Since the coach is recording how long it takes, the track coach is recording the duration behavior because duration is a synonym for time. Duration is your answer.

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation

KiRa [710]

The sweater has a tendency to attract electrons.

The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than the sweater.

Explanation:

The sweater and the leather jackets are made up of distinct fabrics that based on their minutest particles called an atom.

An atom is made up of sub-atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Electrons occupies the bulk volume of the atom and they are easily lost in atoms that are big. They are negatively charged.
Protons are positively charged and are very difficult to lose. They occupy the tiny nucleus with neutrons.
A body that becomes negatively charged will be said to have a hihg tendency to attract electrons. Normally atoms are electrically neutral. When additional electrons are added to them, they become negatively charged.
In this case, the sweater has a high affinity for electrons and it will attract the ones on the leather jacket.
The leather jacket has a low tendency to attract electrons than the sweater and it will lose some of its electrons to the sweater.

A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120

alexdok [17]

Answer:

12 V, 0.5 A

Explanation:

For the Voltage,

Using,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np.......................... Equation 1

Where Vs = Voltage in the secondary coil, Vp = Voltage in the primary coil, Ns = number of turn in the secondary coil, Np = number of turns in the primary coil.

Make Vs the subject of the equation

Vs = Vp(Ns/Np)........................ Equation 2

Given: Vp = 120 v, Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns

Substitute into equation 2

Vs = 120(100/1000)

Vs = 120×0.1

Vs = 12 v

For the current,

Using

Ns/Np = Ip/Is....................... Equation 3

Where Ip = current in the primary coil, Is = current in the secondary coil

make Is the subject of the equation

Is = Ip(Np/Ns).................. Equation 4

Given: Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns, Ip = 0.05 A

Substitute into equation 4

Is = 0.05(1000/100)

Is = 0.05×10

Is = 0.5 A.

Hence the voltage and the current in the secondary coil is 12 V, 0.5 A
