79
New cards

what happens if fc vanished? it causes a change in the direction of?instead of circular path it moves along? because of what?

because fc is at a right angle to the motion it causes a change in the direction of velocity , a straight line path tangent top the circle , because of inertia

Normal; force from the curve parts of the track

85
New cards

if u attack an object to a spring and spin it arouynd does the spring stretch? Why? What force maintains circular motion?

yes it moves in a spiral path and that is because of inertia the object distance increase outward until the spring force f=-kx is great enough tio keep the obvject at a constant radius

Fe elastic is the one that is equal to fc

86
New cards

why does the water remain in a pail tyhat is whirled in a vertical path?

the water tend sto move in a straight line due to inertia

New cards

when does our object deforms and our object becomes bigger?

89
New cards

why is earth not spherical in shape? And bulges at the equator?

Because eth eforce with particles of earth is not enough to resists the inertia of the points located at the equator

90
New cards

or because?

high temp causes the core of earth materials to become liquid state and centripetal force derceases at th equator

91
New cards

because of earth rotation youy woukld weigh slighl;y less at the equator that you would at the poles explain?

on the equator there is a part of gravitartional force that jkeeps you in circular motion making gravitational force of earth less weight

mass is

93
New cards

at the poles we have no fc but what is the relation between fg and fn?

they are both equal

94
New cards

why does mud fly of a rapid turning wheel?

cuz of inertia cohesion is not able to provide enough force

its the greatest cuz fe = fg + fc
