One day you are driving your friends around town and you drive quickly around a corner without slowing down. You are going at a

constant speed of 20.0 m/s ( about 40.0 mph) to the north when you initiate the turn to the right. 2.00 seconds later, you nish the turn and are now traveling to the east, always at constant speed of 20.0 m/s. What was the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by your unfortunate passengers, in terms of g (9.81 m/s2 ), during the turn?

Answer:

1.60 g

Explanation:

From the attached file below:

we can deduce that:

v =  v_x =v_y = 20 \ m/s \\t = 2s

The distance traveled by 2 s will be:

x = vt

x = 20 m/s × 2 s

x = 40 m

The length is quarter of the circle  with radius r,

so; if 2 πr = 4 x

Then radius (r) will be:

r = \frac{4x}{2 \pi}\\\\r = \frac{4*40}{2 \pi}

r = 25.5 m

The centripetal acceleration can be expressed as:

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

so;

a = \frac{(20 \ m/s^2)}{25.5 \ m}

a = 15.7 m/s²

the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by your unfortunate passengers in terms of acceleration due to gravity is then determined by the equation:

a' = \frac{a}{g} g

a' = \frac{15.7 \m/s ^2}{9.81 \ m/s^2}\ g

a' = 1.60 \ g

∴ The magnitude of the acceleration experienced by your unfortunate passengers during the turn = 1.60 g

Answer:

Magnitude of acceleration experienced by the passengers in the car is 1.6g

Explanation:

Given that,

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2

Speed of the car = V = 20 m/s

Time taken to drive around the curve = T = 2 sec

Radius of the curve = R

distance cover, d = θ r = (π/2)R

Also ,

d/t = v

⇒\frac{\pi R}{2\times 2} =20

R = 80/π

Now,

acceleration ,a = v² / r

a = \frac{20^2}{80/ \pi}

a = \frac{400}{80/ \pi}

a = 400 / 25.46

a = 15.708m/s²

in term of g

a = 15.708 / 9.8g

a = 1.60g

Therefore, Magnitude of acceleration experienced by the passengers in the car is 1.6g

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.
nalin [4]
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

Reika [66]
When the system is experiencing a uniformly accelerated motion, there are a set of equations to work from. In this case, work is energy which consist solely of kinetic energy. That is, 1/2*m*v2. First, let's find the final velocity.

a = (vf - v0)/t
2.6 = (vf - 0)/4
vf = 10.4 m/s

Then W = 1/2*(2100 kg)*(10.4 m/s)2
W = 113568 J = 113.57 kJ

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

 y_red / y_blue = 1.11

Explanation:

Let's use the constructor equation to find the image for each wavelength

         1 /f = 1 /o + 1 /i

Where f is the focal length, or the distance to the object and i the distance to the image

Red light

           1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / f_red - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / 19.57 - 1/30

           1 / i_red = 1,776 10-2

           i_red = 56.29 cm

Blue light

            1 / i_blue = 1 / f_blue - 1 / o

            1 / i_blue = 1 / 18.87 - 1/30

            1 / i_blue = 1,966 10-2

            i_blue = 50.863 cm

Now let's use the magnification ratio

             m = y ’/ h = - i / o

             y ’= - h i / o

Red Light

            y_red ’= - 5 56.29 / 30

            y_red ’= - 9.3816 cm

Light blue

            y_blue ’= 5 50,863 / 30

            y_blue ’= - 8.47716 cm

The ratio of the height of the two images is

            y_red ’/ y_blue’ = 9.3816 / 8.47716

            y_red / y_blue = 1,107

            y_red / y_blue = 1.11

Answer:

The force does the ceiling exert on the hook is 269.59 N

Explanation:

Applying the second Newton law:

F = m*a

From the attached diagram, the net force in object 1 is:

m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1}

In object 2:

m_{2} a=W_{2} -T_{2}

Adding the two equations:

m_{2} a+m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1} +W_{2} -T_{2} \\m_{1} =\frac{W_{1} }{g} \\m_{2} =\frac{W_{2} }{g} \\Replacing\\T_{2}-T_{1}=W_{2}   -W_{1} -(\frac{W_{1} }{g} +\frac{W_{2} }{g} )a  (eq. 1)

The torque:

\tau =I\alpha

Where

I = moment of inertia

α = angular acceleration

If the linear acceleration is

a=r\alpha \\\alpha =\frac{a}{r} \\I=\frac{1}{2} mr^{2} \\\tau =\frac{mra}{2}

Torque due the tension is equal:

\tau =r(T_{2} -T_{1} )

Substituting torque, mass, in equation 1, the expression respect the acceleration is:

a=\frac{g*(W_{2}-W_{1})}{W_{1}+W_{2} +\frac{W}{2} }

Where

W₁ = 75 N

W₂ = 125 N

W = 80 N

a=\frac{9.8*(125-75)}{75+125+\frac{80}{2} } =2.04m/s^{2}

The net force is:

F_{n} =F-W-T_{1} -T_{2}\\0=F-W-W_{1} (\frac{a}{g} +1)-W_{2} (1-\frac{a}{g})\\F=W+W_{1} +W_{2} +\frac{a}{g} (W_{1} -W_{2} )\\F=80+75+125+\frac{2.04}{9.8} (75-125)\\F=269.59N
