Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly h

ump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1 800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 18.8 m.
a. If the car travels at 33.0 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump?
b. What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point?

:<span>  </span><span>30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s 

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg) 

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road .. 

Fn = mg - mv²/R 
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards) 
(b) 
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero. 

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)² 

►v = √198 = 14.0 m/s</span>

The magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is Bz =(2.4μT)sin((1.05×107)x−ωt), where x is in m and t is in s. You
tatiyna

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

B_z=(2.4\mu T)\sin (1.05\times 10^7x-\omega t)

Em wave is in the form of

B=B_0\sin (kx-\omega t)

where \omega =frequency\ of\ oscillation

k=wave\ constant

B_0=Maximum\ value\ of\ Magnetic\ Field

Wave constant for EM wave k is

k=1.05\times 10^7 m^{-1}

Wavelength of wave \lambda =\frac{2\pi }{k}

\lambda =\frac{2\pi }{1.05\times 10^7}

\lambda =5.98\times 10^{-7} m

Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

What two factors determine the energy production of the Hoover Dam
swat32
Mar 28, 2011 · The Hoover Dam generates electricity using hydropower. Hydropower is the power generated by moving water. Dams are often built on a large river, so the water falls down from the top of the dam. At the bottom of the dam, the water rotates a large turbine

Hope this helps :p

A muon formed high in the Earth's atmosphere is measured by an observer on the Earth's surface to travel at speed V - 0.983c for
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The moun lives 2.198*10^-6 s as measured by its own frame of reference

The Earth moved 648 m as measured by the moun's frame of reference

Explanation:

From the point of view of the observer on Earth the muon traveled 3.53 km at 0.983c

0.983 * 3*10^8 = 2.949*10^8 m/s

Δt = d/v = 3530 / 2.949*10^8 = 1.197*10^-5 s

The muon lived 1.197*10^-5 s from the point of view of the observer.

The equation for time dilation is:

\Delta t' = \Delta t * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}

Then:

\Delta t' = 1.197*10^-5 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.983c)^2}{c^2}} = 2.198*10^-6 s

From the point of view of the moun Earth moved at 0.983c (2.949*10^8 m/s) during a time of 2.198*10^-6, so it moved

d = v*t = 2.949*10^8 * 2.198*10^-6 = 648 m

Bad White [126]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

A hose has been clamped so that the area at the clamp is only one quarter the area of the rest of the hose. When we ignore the viscosity of water, the ratio of the volume of water delivered per unit time when the clamp is on to the volume of water delivered per unit time without the clamp is 1 as continuity says the same amount of water must flow out
