Answer:

Explanation:

weight of car, W = 14000 N

radius, r = 200 m

velocity, v = 25 m/s

(a) Centripetal acceleration is given by

a = v²/r

a = 25 x 25 / 200 = 3.125 m/s²

(b) Centripetal force, F = mass x centripetal acceleration

mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity

m = 14000 / 9.8 = 1428.57 kg

So, F = 1428.57 x 3.125

F = 4464.28 N

So, F = μ mg

4464.28 = μ x 14000

μ = 0.32

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6 to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=37.4mpy

mm/yr

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

The leaves of a tree lose water to the atmosphere via the process of transpiration. A particular tree loses water at the rate of

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The speed of the sap flowing in the vessel is 1.90 mm/s

Explanation:

Given:

The rate of water loss, Q = 3 × 10 ⁻⁸ m³/s

Number of vessels contained, n = 2000

Diameter of the vessel, D = 100 Mu m

thus, the radius of the vessel, r = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Now, the rate of flow is given as:

Q = AV .............(1)

where, A is the area of the cross-section

V is the velocity

Total area, A = n × (πr²)

substituting the values in the equation (1), we get

3 × 10 ⁻⁸ m³/s = [2000 × (π × (50 × 10⁻⁶)²)] × V

V = 1.909 × 10⁻³ m/s or 1.90 mm/s

Hence, the speed of the sap flowing in the vessel is 1.90 mm/s

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

$T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Inserting the values

$T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}$

T = 31.1 N
