Best Answer

the direction of OP is call radial direction of the moving point p while the direction of OQ which is perpendicular to OP in the sense of (theta)angle is called transverse direction of the moving point P.

What is the value for acceleration in the x direction?

If x is a function of time, t, then the second derivative of x, with respect to t, is the acceleration in the x direction.


When an odd function has a negative leading coefficient what happens to the graph?

the left end of the graph is going in a positive direction and the right end is going in a negative direction.


What is meant by negative gradient of a quantity?

The gradient of a quantity is the greatest rate at which it changes as you move in different directions from where you are now. If the quantity has a negative gradient, that means that the quantity decreases in that direction. A great example of a negative gradient is the elevation of the land at a point on a road that has a hill on one side and a cliff on the other side. The greatest rate at which the elevation changes is in the direction off the edge of the cliff, and it's negative in that direction.


A ferris wheel with radius of 20 meters is rotating at a rate of 1 revolution every 3 min how fast is a rider rising when his seat is 24 m above ground level?

Here is an outline of the solution: Find the velocity of a point on the rim by multiplying the radius times the angular velocity in radians per second (converted from 1 rev per 3 min.). The direction of the rim velocity is tangent to the rim. You have to find the vertical component of this velocity using trig. You find the necessary angle to do this by drawing a radial line to the point on the rim that is 24 m above ground level. There are several parts to this problem, so good luck.


How can you find a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector?

Divide the vector by it's length (magnitude).

What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?

in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.

What is the difference between axial bearing and radial bearing?

How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?

Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.


What does the slope on a distance-time motion graph indicate?

It shows the component of velocity in a radial direction. Any motion in a transverse direction is ignored.


Why is the line curved on a distance vs time graph?

The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.


What is the different between axial turbocharger and radial turbocharger?

An axial compressor uses many stages of "fans" with stators to compress air in the same direction as its original flow. An example of this is that of *most* turbojet engines' compressors. A radial (or centrifugal) compressor works at right angles to the airflow's original direction. An example of a radial compressor is the compressor on an automotive turbocharger.


What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?

The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.


Should radial tires all ways rotate in the same direction for the life of the tire?

yes they should


What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?

A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.


What is a horizontal line on a speed time graph?

It indicates that the object in question is moving at a constant velocity in the radial direction. It gives no information about motion in the transverse direction.
