Static friction keeps the car from skidding off the road and points toward the center of the curve. By Newton's second law, the car experiences

• net vertical force

F [normal] - F [weight] = 0

• net horizontal force

F [friction] = ma = mv²/r

where v is the tangential speed of the car.

It follows that

F [normal] = F [weight] = mg

and when static friction is maximized at the car's maximum speed,

F [friction] = µ F[normal] = 0.402 mg

Solve for v :

0.402 mg = mv²/r   ⇒   v = √(0.402 g (93.5 m)) ≈ 19.2 m/s

a uniform disc and hollow right circular cone have the same formula for their moment of inertia when rotating about the central
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

This is as a result that about the central axis a collapsed hollow cone is equivalent to a uniform disc

Explanation:

The integration of the differential mass of the hollow right circular cone yields

I=\int\limits   dmr^2 = \int\limits^a_b {\frac{2Mxr^2}{R^2 +H^2} } \, dx  = \frac{2MR^2dx}{(R^2 +H^2)^2} \frac{(R^2 +H^2)^2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

and for a uniform disc

I = 1/2πρtr⁴ = 1/2Mr².

If a ball leaves the ground with a vertical velocity of 5.46 m/s, how long does it take
kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.557 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.46 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.46 m/s

t = 0.557 s

Two particles with charges are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixed at positio
ddd [48]

Answer:

potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The potential energy between the two charged particles is given by

U = k Q q / r

If they are very far apart then r tends to infinity and the potential energy is zero.

If they come closer then the potential energy between the two charged particles increases.

Thus, the potential energy increases.
