__________ curves help lessen the effect of the force of the forward motion on your vehicle as it enters the curve.

Rainbow [258]

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.

A rectangular loop of wire of width 10 cm and length 20 cm has a current of 2.5 A flowing through it. Two sides of the loop are

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

A cement factory emits 900 kilograms of CO2 to produce 1,000 kilograms of cement. A fully grown tree removes six kilograms of CO

Dmitriy789 [7]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

To make the factory carbon neutral, the owners need to grow 15000 trees over an area of land measuring 75 acres

<h3>Explanation and solution;</h3>

From the information;

900 kg CO2 = 1000 kg Cement

1 tree = 6 kg CO2

1 acre = 200 trees

100000 kg Cement will require;

=(900 × 100000)/1000

= 90,000 kg of CO2

But 1 tree = 6 kg of CO2

Number of trees = 90,000/6

= 15,000 trees

But, 1 acre = 200 trees

Number of acres = 15,000/200

= 75 acres of land

Therefore;

To make the factory carbon neutral, the owners need to grow 15000 trees over an area of land measuring 75 acres

A rigid tank contains nitrogen gas at 227 °C and 100 kPa gage. The gas is heated until the gage pressure reads 250 kPa. If the a

aleksley [76]

Answer:

T₂ =602 °C

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 227°C =227+273 K

T₁ =500 k

Gauge pressure at condition 1 given = 100 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 1 will be

P₁ = 100 + 100 KPa

P₁ =200 KPa

Gauge pressure at condition 2 given = 250 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 2 will be

P₂ = 250 + 100 KPa

P₂ =350 KPa

The temperature at condition 2 = T₂

We know that

$\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=T_1\times \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=500\times \dfrac{350}{200}\ K\\$

T₂ = 875 K

T₂ =875- 273 °C

T₂ =602 °C

A bicycle tire rotates 25 times in 10 seconds. What is it’s average angular velocity?

ryzh [129]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Angular velocity of bicycle tire is 15.78 radians per second.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Angular velocity is the change in angular speed of an object with respect to time take for change or it is the rate of change of circular motion.

In the given question the circular displacement is 25 rounds around a central point.

The angular displacement is measured in degrees and 1 round is equal to 360 degrees.

25 Rounds = 25 × 360 = 9000 degrees.

Angular velocity = angular displacement /time = 9000/10 = 900 degrees per second.

In SI,angular velocity is represented in radians per second.

So, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

Angular velocity = 15.78 radians per second
