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%

It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the sp
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J

Distance, x = 0.1 m

(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m

(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m

So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J

So, the new work is more than 130 J.

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.
-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

  • Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
  • The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
  • Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Hemoglobin (Hb) is the O2-carrying protein in our blood. Unlike myoglobin, it has four sites allowing it to bind up to four O2 m
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Yes, the energy is not simply the sum of the individual binding energies at each site, it is the product of energy at each binding site of hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Myoglobin and hemoglobin are two different cells. Myoglobin binds only one oxygen while the hemoglobin has the ability to binds four oxygen atoms at its four sides. Myoglobin present in muscle tissue only while hemoglobin is present in the whole body. Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds with hemoglobin cell. This oxygen is take to all cells and energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with this oxygen.

A ball is thrown w a speed of 30m/s at an angle of 10. When is the vertical component of the velocity equal to zero
irga5000 [103]

Now the vertical velocity of the ball thrown at an angle 10° is given as

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 30m/s x sin 10

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 5.2m/s

Now the ball is decelerating with an acceleration due to gravity equivalent to 9.8m/s^2.

Let Vy be the final velocity and that is equal to zero in this case.

Now

Vy= Voy- tx9.8

Where t is the time at which the vertical velocity becomes 0.

Substituting the values we get

0= 5.2-tx9.8

9.8t=5.2

t=0.53 secs
