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>

89. An electron is moving in a straight line with a velocity of 4.0×105 m/s. It enters a region 5.0 cm long where it undergoes a
ddd [48]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the electron, u=4\times 10^5\ m/s

Distance, s = 5 cm = 0.05 cm

Acceleration of the electron, a=6\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2  

(a) Let v is the electron's velocity when it emerges from this region. It can be calculated as :

v^2=u^2+2as

v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 6\times 10^{12}\times 0.05

v = 871779.788 m/s

or

v=8.71\times 10^5\ m/s

(b) Let t is the time for which the electron take to cross the region. It can be calculated as:

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{8.71\times 10^5-4\times 10^5}{6\times 10^{12}}

t=7.85\times 10^{-8}\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A small crack occurs at the base of a 15.0-m-high dam. The effective area through which water leaves is 2.30 × 10-3 m2. (a) Igno
vova2212 [387]

Answer

given,                                              

height of the dam = 15 m            

effective area of water = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m²

Using energy conservation              

    m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

    v= \sqrt{2gh}                  

    v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 15}

    v= \sqrt{294}              

           v = 17.15 m/s            

 discharge of water

      Q = A V                            

      Q = 2.3 x 10⁻³ x 17.15    

      Q = 0.039 m³/s

Consider the vector b⃗ with magnitude 4.00 m at an angle 23.5∘ north of east. what is the x component bx of this vector? express
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Decomposing the vector b on the x-axis and the y-axis, we get a rectangle triangle where the two sides are bx (x-axis) and by (y-axis), and b is the hypothenuse.
The component in x, bx, is equal to the product between the hypothenuse and the cosine of the angle between b and the x-axis, which is 23.5 ^{\circ}:
b_x = b \cos (23^{\circ})=(4.00 m)(\cos (23^{\circ}))=3.68 m

In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following pressure p,
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of gas , work done

W = ∫ p dV , p is pressure and dV is small change in volume

the limit of integration is from Vi to Vf .

= ∫ p dV

=  ∫ p₀V^{-\frac{6}{5}  dV

= p₀ V^{-\frac{6}{5} +1} / ( \frac{-6}{5} +1 )

=  - 5p₀ V^{-\frac{1}{5}

Taking limit from Vi  to Vf

W = - 5 p₀ ( V_f^\frac{-1}{5} - V_i^{\frac{-1}{5}  ) ltr- atm.

A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 26 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begin
Dovator [93]

Answer:

fcosθ + Fbcosθ  =Wtanθ

Explanation:

Consider the diagram shown in attachment

fx= fcosθ (fx: component of friction force in x-direction ; f: frictional force)

Fbx= Fbcosθ ( Fbx: component of braking force in x-direction ; Fb: braking force)

Wx= Wtanθ (Wx: component of weight in x-direction ; W: Weight of semi)

sum of x-direction forces = 0

fx+ Fbx=Wx

fcosθ + Fbcosθ  =Wtanθ
