An example of centripetal acceleration?
One example of centripetal acceleration is when a car goes around a curve on a road. The car accelerates towards the center of the curve due to the centripetal force required to keep it moving in a curved path.
When a car rounds a curve it's acceleration is zero?
Actually, a car always accelerates on a curve. This is because acceleration, like the velocity it alters, is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Since taking a curve involves a change of direction, there must be an acceleration to alter the direction; otherwise, the car can only continue straight.
Does the degree of a curve effect acceleration?
Yes, the degree of a curve can affect acceleration. In a curve with a higher degree, the change in direction is sharper, which can lead to higher acceleration as the vehicle needs to adjust its speed to navigate the curve effectively. In contrast, curves with lower degrees may require less acceleration due to their more gradual changes in direction.
How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?
Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.
How do you calculate speed moving around the curve?
To calculate the speed of an object moving around a curve, you can use the centripetal acceleration formula: (a = v^2 / r), where (a) is the centripetal acceleration, (v) is the speed of the object, and (r) is the radius of the curve. To find the speed ((v)), you need to know the radius of the curve and the centripetal acceleration acting on the object.
What does acceleration look like on a distance time graph?
On a distance-time graph, acceleration is represented by a curve that shows the slope increasing over time. If the graph is a straight line, it indicates constant speed, while a curved line indicates changing speed. The steeper the curve, the greater the acceleration; if the curve flattens, it suggests a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the graph shows a downward curve, it may indicate deceleration.
What is velocity-time curve?
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.
What is instantaneous accerlation?
that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.
What is the imaginary line that follows the curve of earth?
it is the ORBIT, I think...
What occurs when a object travels in a curved path?
Acceleration
What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. Positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and zero slope indicates constant velocity.
What does the slope of a tangent to the curve of a velocity-time graph measure?
the slope of a tangent to the curve of a V vs T graph is acceleration at that point in time. the derivative of the function for the V vs T graph would be the function for acceleration at any given time
