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 car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5 ft/s. What is its velocity after it has gone 600 ft?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

First, let’s correct the question. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Its unit therefore is ft/sec/sec. If S is the distance traveled for a given duration, S = Vot + (1/2)at^2 where Vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. For Vo = 0, a = 6m/sec/sec and t = 3 sec. The distance traveled is S = 0 + (1/2) x 6 x 3^2 = 27 meters

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, which of the following statement must b
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. Each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

Explanation:

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

In a series connected capacitor, sane amount of charge flows through the capacitors while different potential difference is passed across them.

The capacitors have the same charge as the charge flowing out directly from the potential source called emf since the emf is the driving force of charge in a circuit.
