Answer:

Banked

Explanation:

Banked curves are formed when the inner edge is below the outer edge.

It is done in order to ensure the reliability of the frictional force as it varies when the road is wet wet or oily. Thus in order to avoid these problems the curved roads are banked.

Banking of the curve provides the necessary centripetal force, i.e., the horizontal component of the normal reaction force to keep the vehicle i motion and thus helps in reducing the effect of the forward motion force on the vehicle.

How much energy is needed to change the speed of a 1600 kg sport utility vehicle from 15.0 m/s to 40.0 m/s?

podryga [215]

Answer:

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

Explanation:

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

Mass, m = 1600 kg

$\texttt{Initial kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 15^2=180000J$

Final velocity = 40 m/s

$\texttt{Final kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 40^2=1280000J$

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy = 1280000-180000 = 1100000J

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy $E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH$

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

Two forces F1 and F2 act on a 5.00 kg object. Taking F1=20.0N and F2=15.00N, find the acceleration of the object for the configu

Anit [1.1K]

A) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting perpendicular in the positive y direction

m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N ... x direction
F2=15.00N ... y direction

Net force ^2 = F1^2 + F2^2 = (20N)^2 + (15n)^2 = 625N^2 =>

Net force = √625 = 25N

F = m*a => a = F/m = 25.0 N /5.00 kg = 5 m/s^2

Answer: 5.00 m/s^2

b) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting on the object at 60 degrees above the horizontal. 

m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N ... x direction
F2=15.00N ... 60 degress above x direction

Components of F2

F2,x = F2*cos(60) = 15N / 2 = 7.5N

F2, y = F2*sin(60) = 15N* 0.866 = 12.99 N ≈ 13 N

Total force in x = F1 + F2,x = 20.0 N + 7.5 N = 27.5 N

Total force in y = F2,y = 13.0 N

Net force^2 = (27.5N)^2 + (13.0N)^2 = 925.25 N^2 = Net force = √(925.25N^2) =

= 30.42N

a = F /m = 30.42 N / 5.00 kg = 6.08 m/s^2

Answer: 6.08 m/s^2

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s
