How can you show that force certainly acts on a particle moving along circular path?
If no force acts on a particle, that particle will either be motionless, or will move in a straight line; this follows from Newton's laws of motion. When a particle is moving in a circular path, the direction of its motion is constantly changing, and to change the direction of motion requires force. We know that force equal mass times acceleration, which is the basis of all physics, as originally stated by Newton. So if a mass is being accelerated, then force is being applied. That is an inescapable conclusion. And only acceleration can change the direction in which a particle moves.
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.
A measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter?
Temperature is the average energy of random motion of particles of matter :). Hope that helps
What is the average amount of energy of motion of each particle in a substance?
The average amount of energy of motion (also known as kinetic energy) in the particles of a substance (atoms and molecules) is measured by the temperature of that substance. More energy will produce a higher temperature.
What is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
It could be an increase or decrease in its kinetic energy, or simply a change in the direction of motion.
What is a measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
What is the measure of energy of motion of particle of matter?
motion
What is a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
What is happening to particle motion and thermalheat energy during melting?
Particle motion and thermal heat energy should both be increasing
What happens to particle motion if the temperature is decreased?
The energy of the motion is decreased.
What is the kinetic energy of a substance?
Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particles .it is the energy processed by the virtue of the motion of the particle .
How can the work-kinetic energy theorem explain why the force of sliding friction reduces the kinetic energy of a particle?
Work = change in Kinetic Energy Because friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object, kinetic energy must be decreased in order to maintain the above equation. Friction opposes motion. Friction converts the kinetic energy of a particle into heat and sound.
What is particle energy?
It is the energy that affects motion of particles, which are atoms and molecules.
What is the measure of the energy of the motion of particle of matter?
Temperture
What converts potiential energy to kinetic energy?
motion of particle in conservative field.
How a smoke particle move?
A smoke particle moves in a jerky motion.They are constantly moving about and changing direction. This is due to the smoke particle colliding with the air particle which gives it a 'push'.The direction of the push changes at random.This collision happens repeatedly,at random,with each smoke particle. This motion is called 'Brownian motion'. Cheers!
In physics what is motion?
motion is movement relative to another frame of reference ie snooker ball relative to table moon relative to earth
