A 600-kg car traveling at 30.0 m/s is going around a curve having a radius of 120 m that is banked at an angle of 25.0°. The coe
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1593.4N

Explanation:

The sum of the horizontal components of the friction and the normal force will be equal to the centripetal force on the car. This can be represented as

fcostheta + Nsintheta = mv^2/r

Where F = force of friction

Theta = angle of banking

N = normal force

m = mass of car

v = velocity of car

r = radius of curve

The car has no motion in the vertical direction so the sum of forces = 0

The vertical component of the normal force acts upwards whereas the weight of the car and the vertical component friction acts downwards.

Taking the upward direction to be positive,rewrite the equation above to get:

Ncos thetha = mg - fsintheta =0

Ncistheta = mg + fain theta

N = mg/cos theta + sintheta/ costheta

fcostheta +[mg/costheta + ftan theta] sin theta = mv^2/r

Substituting gives:

f = (1/(costheta + tanthetasintheta) + mgtantheta = mv^2/r - mgtantheta)

Substituting given values into the above equation

f = 1/(cos25 + tan 25 )(sin25)[ 600×30/120 - (600×9.81)tan

f = 1593.4N25

You throw a tennis ball straight up (neglect air resistance). It takes 7.0 seconds to go up and then return to your hand. How fa
sattari [20]

Answer:

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the tennis ball to reach maximum height, t = 0.5 x 7 = 3.5 seconds.

Let the initial velocity be u, we have acceleration due to gravity, a = -9.81 m/s² and final velocity = 0 m/s

Equation of motion result we have v = u + at

Substituting

             0 = u - 9.81 x 3.5

             u = 34.335 m/s

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

When the tympanic membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the incoming sound waves it is known asamplitude.pitch.hertz.reso
Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the  wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.

If earth increase the distance from the sun, what will happen to the period of orbi t(the time it takes to complete one revoluti
Mandarinka [93]

The period of the orbit would increase as well

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

\frac{T^2}{a^3}=const.

Where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis of the orbit

In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, a: but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to a, therefore as a increases, T increases as well.

Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.

"The ________ method can determine whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The method to determine whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type

Explanation:

The Java string includes () method to check whether a particular sequence of character is the part of given sub string or not.

One string contain another string in Java or not.

The indexof() to check the string and substring in java

Hence java string include () method to check  whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type
