A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f

riction between the tires and the road is 0.350. At what speed will the car begin to skid sideways?

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

$\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}$

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

$v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Centripetal Acceleration can be formulated as follows:

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{ v^2 } { R } }$

<em>a = Centripetal Acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

$\texttt{ }$

Centripetal Force can be formulated as follows:

$\large {\boxed {F = m \frac{ v^2 } { R } }$

<em>F = Centripetal Force ( m/s² )</em>

<em>m = mass of Particle ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

mass of car = m = 1000 kg

radius of curve = R = 100 m

coefficient of static friction = μ = 0.350

<u>Asked:</u>

speed of the car = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will derive the formula to calculate the maximum speed of the car:</em>

$\Sigma F = ma$

$f = m \frac{v^2}{R}$

$\mu N = m \frac{v^2}{R}$

$\mu m g = m \frac{v^2}{R}$

$\mu g = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$v^2 = \mu g R$

$\boxed {v = \sqrt { \mu g R } }$

$v = \sqrt { 0.350 \times 9.8 \times 100 }$

$v = \sqrt { 343 }$

$v = 7 \sqrt{7} \texttt{ m/s}$

$\boxed {v \approx 18.5 \texttt{ m/s}}$

While practicing S-turns, a consistently smaller half-circle is made on one side of the road than on the other, and this turn is

erica [24]

Answer:

The answer is "4-5-6 because the bank is growing too quickly in the beginning of its turn".

Explanation:

The S-turns is also known as the reference technique, in which the ground track of the aircraft on both sides of a defined ground-based straight-line distance represents 2 different but equivalent circles.

Throughout the S-turns, on either side of the road, a progressively smaller half-circle is formed, and this turn does not stop until the road or reference line is crossed during the early part of the turn, the twists increase too quickly.

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the

Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:

I=P/4π*r^2 (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.

<u>solution:</u>

(a)

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2 (2)

Solve for I_2 :

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

he first excited state of the helium atom lies at an energy 19.82 eV above the ground state. If this excited state is three-fold

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Relative population is 2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰.

Explanation:

Let N₁ and N₂ be the number of atoms at ground and first excited state of helium respectively and E₁ and E₂ be the ground and first excited state energy of helium respectively.

The ratio of population of atoms as a function of energy and temperature is known as Boltzmann Equation. The equation is:

$\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} }$ = $\frac{g_{1}e^{\frac{-E_{1} }{KT} } }{g_{2}e^{\frac{-E_{2} }{KT} }}$

$\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} }$ = $\frac{g_{1}e^{\frac{-(E_{1}-E_{2}) }{KT} } }{g_{2}}$

Here g₁ and g₂ be the degeneracy at two levels, K is Boltzmann constant and T is equilibrium temperature.

Put 1 for g₁, 3 for g₂, -19.82 ev for (E₁ - E₂) and 8.6x10⁵ ev/K for K and 10000 k for T in the above equation.

$\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} }$ = $\frac{1\times e^{\frac{-(-19.82)}{8.6\times 10^{-5}\times 10000} } }{3}$

$\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2} }$ = 3.4 x 10⁹

$\frac{N_{2} }{N_{1} }$ = 2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰

(Another tomato/skyscraper problem.) You are looking out your window in a skyscraper, and again your window is at a height of 45

Ivan

Answer:

1027.2 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{450-\frac{1}{2}\times 32.2\times 2^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow u=192.8\ ft/s$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{192.8^2-0^2}{2\times 32.2}\\\Rightarrow s=577.20\ m$

The height the tomato would fall is 450+577.2 = 1027.2 m
