An apple falling to the ground is not an example of centripetal acceleration.
Recall the equation for magnetic force:
F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!
If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(a) 4.21 m/s
(b) 24.9 N
Explanation:
(a) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the bottom of the circle. There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.
Sum the forces in the radial (+y) direction:
∑F = ma
T − mg = m v² / r
v = √(r (T − mg) / m)
v = √(0.676 m (54.7 N − 1.52 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 1.52 kg)
v = 4.21 m/s
(b) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the top of the circle. There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling down and weight force mg pulling down.
Sum the forces in the radial (-y) direction:
∑F = ma
T + mg = m v² / r
T = m v² / r − mg
T = (1.52 kg) (4.21 m/s)² / (0.676 m) − (1.52 kg) (9.8 m/s²)
T = 24.9 N
Answer:
3 N to the right
Explanation:
There are two forces acting on the car:
- A force of 10 N towards the right
- A force of 7 N towards the left
Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:
And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.
