A new interstate highway is being built with a design speed of 120 km/h. For one of the horizontal curves, the radius (measured

to the innermost vehicle path) is tentatively planned as 300 m. The limiting value for coefficient of side friction at 120 km/h is 0.09. What rate of superelevation is required for this curve at the 120 km/h design speed

Answer:

28.79%

Explanation:

Given

Design Speed, V = 120km/h = 33.33m/s

Radius, R = 300m

Side Friction, Fs = 0.09

Gravitational Constant = 9.8m/s²

Using the following formula, we'll solve the required rate of superelevation.

e + Fs = V²/gR where e = rate

e = V²/gR - Fs

e = (33.33)²/(9.8 * 300) - 0.09

e = 0.287853367346938

e = 28.79%

Hence, the required rate of superelevation for the curve is calculated as 28.79%

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by F=mg, where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is 
F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different:g=3.7 m/s^2. The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus: 
g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg: 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2

<span>6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is </span>g=9.81 m/s^2<span>. The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is 
</span>F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N<span>

What form of matter is vapor?
katrin [286]
The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid. 
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

A resistor is connected to a 36v power supply. An ammeter measures a current of 2.0 A going through it. Determine the resistance
m_a_m_a [10]

R = 18 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

V = 36 volts

I = 2.0 A

R = ?

Use Ohm's law to solve for the resistance:

V = IR

or

R = V/I

= (36 volts)/(2.0 A)

= 18 ohms

The built in flash in a compact camera is usally capable of giving correct exsposure for distance up to how many meters?
Brut [27]

Answer:

An on-camera flash is an indispensible accessory for many photographers; it provides additional light when conditions become too dark to handhold your camera comfortably, allows you to achieve more balanced exposures in daylight conditions, permits freezing of fast-moving subjects and can also be used to control or trigger other flash light sources. Additionally, a flash can be used as a highly effective creative tool to establish an aesthetic that elevates your imagery when lighting conditions are considered less than stellar. The benefits of an external on-camera flash far outweigh those provided by a built-in camera flash, while the only drawback is keeping an additional piece of equipment.

On-Camera Flash versus Off-Camera Flash versus In-Camera Flash

The term on-camera flash simply refers to a type of strobe light (flash) that can connect directly with your camera. While it is referred to as “on-camera” this does not require the flash to be physically mounted on your camera. On-camera flashes can, and often are, used off-camera. This differs from other strobe-light sources, such as studio pack strobes and monolights in that these types of strobes are not meant to be physically connected to your camera (except under rare and unusual circumstances involving convoluted methods of adaptation). Additionally, on-camera flashes usually have a self-contained power supply, although external power sources can sometimes be used to improve performance or battery life.

On-camera external flash also refers to the type of external flash that can be used on your camera, compared to a built-in flash that is integrated into many cameras. An on-camera external flash performs better than a built-in flash in almost every regard with the one exception that it is not built into your camera. The ability to take the flash off your camera results in a significantly greater number of lighting options; far more than simply providing a blast of flat light to the scene to facilitate an adequate exposure. It is often not desirable to have your flash pointed squarely at the scene at hand; more often than not you will want to bounce the flash light off other surfaces and point in other directions to control the look of your flash. When using an in-camera flash, you are forced to use the flash at the given angle from which it extends.

Most built-in flashes are also located near the camera lens, which can often result in the red-eye effect  when photographing subjects in dimly lit conditions. Red-eye occurs because pupils dilate in dim light, the built-in flash is aligned with the lens's optical axis, its beam enters the eye and reflects back at the camera from the retina at the rear of the eye, which is quite red. Being able to use an on-camera flash source off-camera, from a different angle, will help to eliminate the red-eye effect in your photographs of people.

Guide Numbers, Manual Usage, Controlling Flash Power and Sync Speeds

Before delving into the automatic technology that is contained within most contemporary flashes, it is best to understand how to manually control and grasp a flash’s power. This is directly related to having an understanding of exposure ratios—how shutter speeds and apertures affect and balance each other—even though auto-exposure metering is available and often utilized for determining the best exposure settings.
