The banking angle in a turn on the Olympic bobsled track is not constant, but increases upward from the horizontal. Coming aroun

d a turn, the bobsled team will intentionally "climb the wall," then go lower coming out of the turn. Why do they do this?

Answer:

the curve inclination is increased so that a weight component helps keep the car on track

Explanation:

In the sledging competition these devices go at quite high speeds over 100 km/h, so when reaching the curves the friction force is not enough to keep the car on the track. For this reason, the curve inclination is increased so that a weight component helps keep the car on track.

In general we can solve Newton's second law for this case, with the condition of no friction, it is found that

V² = r g tan θ

Where V is the maximum velocity, r is the radius of the curve a, θ is the angle of the inclination

A boy is pulling a load of 150N with a string inclined at an angle 30 to the horizontal if the tension of string is 105N the for

Lorico [155]

The force tending to lift the load (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Why?

Since the boy is pulling a load (150N) with a string inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, the total force will have two components (horizontal and vertical component), but we need to consider the given information about the tension of the string which is equal to 105N.

We can calculate the vertical force using the following formula:

$VerticalForce=Force*Sin(30\° )=(BoysForce-StringForce)*\frac{1}{2}\\\\VerticalForce=(150N-105N)*\frac{1}{2}=VerticalForce=45N*\frac{1}{2}=22.5N$

Hence, we can see that <u>the force tending to lift the load</u> off the ground (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Have a nice day!

In a house the temperature at the surface of a window is 28.9 °C. The temperature outside at the window surface is 7.89 °C. Heat

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

-13.18°C

Explanation:

To develop the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the thermal conduction rate.

Its definition is given by the function

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

Where,

Q = The amount of heat transferred

t = time

k = Thermal conductivity constant

A = Cross-sectional area

$\Delta T =$ The difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other

d= thickness of the material

The problem says that there is a loss of heat twice that of the initial state, that is

$Q_2 = 2*Q_1$

Replacing,

$kA\frac{\Delta T_m}{x} = 2*kA\frac{\Delta T}{x}$

$\frac{\Delta T}{x}=2*\frac{\Delta T}{x}$

$\frac{T_i-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{T_1-T_2}{x}$

$\frac{28.9-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{28.9-7.86}{x}$

Solvinf for $T_o$ ,

$T_o = -13.18$

Therefore the temprature at the outside windows furface when the heat lost per second doubles is -13.18°C

A 6-in-wide polyamide F-1 flat belt is used to connect a 2-in-diameter pulley to drive a larger pulley with an angular velocity

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a) Fc = 4.15 N, Fi = 435.65 N, (F1)a = 640 N, and F2 = 239.6 N,

b) Ha = 1863.75 N, nfs = 1 , length = 11.8 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

γ= 9.5 kN/m³ = 9500N/m3

b = 6 inches = 0.1524 m

t = 0.0013 mm

d = 2 inches = 0.0508 m

n = 1750 rpm

$H_{nom}=2hp=1491.4W$

L = 9 ft = 2.7432 m

Ks = 1.25

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)

$w=\gamma b t = 9500* 0.1524*0.0013=1.88N/m$

$V=\frac{\pi d n}{60} =\pi *0.0508*1750/60=4.65 m/s$

$F_c=\frac{wV^2}{g}=1.88*4.65^2/9.81=4.15N$

$(F_1)_a=bF_aC_pC_v=0.1524*6000*0.7*1=640N$

$T=\frac{H_{nom}n_dK_s}{2\pi n}= \frac{1491*1.25*1}{2*\pi*1750/60}=10.17Nm$

$F_2=(F_1)_a-\frac{2T}{D}= 640-\frac{2*10.17}{0.0508} =239.6N$

$F_i=\frac{(F_1)_a+F_2}{2} -F_c=435.65N$

b)

$H_a=1491*1.25=1863.75W$

$n_f_s=\frac{H_a}{H_{nom}K_S }=1$

dip = $\frac{L^2w}{8F_i} =\frac{2.7432*1.88}{435.65}=11.8mm$

A 56 kg diver runs and dives from the edge of a cliff into the water which is located 4.0 m below. If she is moving at 8.0 m/s t

Reil [10]

Answer:

1) 2197.44 J

2) 0 J

3) 2197.44 J = Constant

4) 2197.44 J

5) Approximately 8.86 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the diver, m = 56 kg

The height of the cliff, h = 4.0 m

The speed with which the diver is moving, vₓ = 8.0 m/s

The gravitational potential energy = Mass, m × Height of the cliff, h × Acceleration due to gravity, g

1) Her gravitational potential energy = 56 × 4.0 × 9.81 = 2197.44 J

2) The kinetic energy = 1/2·m·u²

Where;

u = Her initial velocity = 0 when she just leaves the cliff

Therefore;

Her kinetic energy when she just leaves the cliff = 1/2 × 56 × 0² = 0 J

3) The total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The total mechanical energy is constant

Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff = Her gravitational potential energy = 2197.44 J = Constant

4) Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water = 2197.44 J

5) The speed with which she enters the water, v, is given from, v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

u = The initial velocity at the top of the cliff before she jumps= 0 m/s

∴ v² = 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 4 = 78.48

v = √78.48 ≈ 8.86 m/s

The speed with which she enters the water, v ≈ 8.86 m/s
