which motion maps show an object in uniform circular motion? check all that apply. v w x y z
which motion maps show an object in uniform circular motion? check all that apply. v w x y z
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall uniform circular motion
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant and centripetal - force is always towards the center and velocity is tangent to the circle.
Step2: Analyze motion - map V
The arrows representing velocity are tangent to the circle and arrows for centripetal force point to the center, so it shows uniform circular motion.
Step3: Analyze motion - map W
Velocity arrows are tangent and centripetal - force arrows point to the center, so it shows uniform circular motion.
Step4: Analyze motion - map X
Velocity arrows are tangent and centripetal - force arrows point to the center, so it shows uniform circular motion.
Step5: Analyze motion - map Y
Velocity arrows are tangent and centripetal - force arrows point to the center, so it shows uniform circular motion.
Step6: Analyze motion - map Z
The velocity arrows are not tangent to the circle at all points, so it does not show uniform circular motion.
Answer:
V, W, X, Y
