Concept explainers
a.
To Calculate: The direction of acceleration.
a.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The direction of our acceleration is towards the center of the curvature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be a
So, the acceleration will be toward the center of the curvature as shown in the figure below:
Conclusion:
The direction of acceleration is towards the center of the curvature.
b.
To Calculate: The direction of net force.
b.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The direction of net force is towards the center of curvature to move the car in a circular path.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be centripetal force is acting towards the center to make the body move in a circular path.
So, the net force will be acting towards the center to make the car move in the circular path.
Conclusion:
The direction of the net force is towards the center of curvature.
c.
To Find: The reason of force acting on the car.
c.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The force is acting due to the seat of the car.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
A body moving in a circular path would experience a centripetal force acting towards the center. This centripetal force is acting due to the seat of the car.
Conclusion:
The force is acting due to the seat of the car.
