A 3,220 lb car enters an S-curve at A with a speed of 60 mi/hr with brakes applied to reduce the speed to 45 mi/hr at a uniform

rate in a distance of 300 ft measured along the curve from A to B. The radius of curvature of the path of the car at B is 600 ft. Calculate magnitude of the total friction force exerted by the road on the tires at B. The road lies in a horizontal plane. 1 mile

The magnitude of the total friction force exerted by the road on the tires at B will be 919.46 lb.

<h3>What is the friction force?</h3>

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. Its unit is Newton (N).

Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

The given data in the problem is;

The weight is,W= 3,220 lb

The speed is,u= 60 mi/hr

The reducing speed is,v= 45 mi/hr

The distance traveled is,d= 300 ft

The radius of curvature of the path of the car at B is,R= 600 ft.

1 mile = 5280 ft

From the Newtons' equation of motion;

$\rm v^2 = u^2 +2ad \\\\ \rm (45 \times \frac{5280}{3600} )^2 = (60 \times \frac{5280}{3600} )^2 +2a\times 300 \\\\$

The tangential accelerations are;

$\rm a_t = \frac{66^2 -88^2}{600} \\\\ \rm a_t = -5.65 ft/sec^2 \\\\$

The force is found as;

$\rm \sum F = ma \\\\ \frac{3220}{32.2} \times -5.65 \\\\ F_T= 565 \ lb$

The normal force is;

$\rm F_n = \frac{3220}{32.2} \times \frac{66^2}{600} \\\\ F_N =726 \ lb$

The net or the total friction force exerted by the road on the tires at B. is found as;

$\rm F = \sqrt{(565)^2+(726)^2} \\\ F = 919.946 \ lb$

Hence, the magnitude of the total friction force exerted by the road on the tires at B will be 919.46 lb.

On the way to the moon, the Apollo astronauts reach a point where the Moon’s gravitational pull is stronger than that of Earth’s

Drupady [299]

Answer:

rm = 38280860.6[m]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

$r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]$

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

$F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2} } \\$

$F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a} }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]$

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

$G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2} } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} }$

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

$\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m} )^{2} } = \frac{7.36*10^{22} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17} \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0$

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

$r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}\\ where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) } }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]$

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

A car driving at a constant speed of 64 mi/h travels 68 miles. How many hours did this take?

babymother [125]

64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.
