Answer:

The speed of the car at the apex of the loop must be grater than 2.45 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the car to not fall off the track at the apex of the loop, the norm force of the track at the apex must be greater than zero.

Assuming frictionless life on the track which is also to have a perfectly circular shape near the top (radius being 0.25m), the norm force of the track and gravity both point down and result in the centripetal force:

F_c=F_N+F_g

The formula for centripetal force on a circular trajectory is

F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}

and so the condition for the car to stay on the track can be written as

m\frac{v^2}{r} = F_N + mg\implies F_N = m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg>0\\\implies |v| >\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}0.25m}=2.45\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the car at the apex of the loop must be grater than 2.45 m/s

Which statement is NOT true about voltage?
Tom [10]

The first two choices are both false, but the <em>second one</em> is the falser one.

All electricity sources do <em>not</em> have the same voltage. The outlet in your bedroom wall supplies 120 volts, but the USB port on your laptop only supplies 5 volts, and the battery in your cellphone only supplies 3.7 volts.

Examine the droppler effect illustration above. Assume the red dot is a police car with its siren on. Which direction is the pol
Vikki [24]

<em>Something is missing in question. But I will try to explain you about Doppler effect to reach your answer.</em>

Answer:

  • It is defined as "an increase in the frequency of sound, light or other waves as the source or observer moves towards each other".
  • This effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in passing siren.  
  • You hear a siren from a few blocks away. The source is a police car that is racing in your direction. As the car approaches, zooms past you, and then speeds off into the distance, the sound of its siren keeps changing in pitch. First the siren gets higher in pitch, and then it suddenly gets lower.

If your vessel is engaged in diving activity during the day, you must exhibit a diver-down flag along with what other rigid flag
strojnjashka [21]
The navigation rules entail vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver to display appropriate flag or lights. During the day of engagement of vessel in diving activities the rigid replica of the international code flag "ALPHA" must be exhibit not less than 3.3 feet while during night time the vessel must display the navigation light which is red and white and this requirement does not affect divers red and white flag which may be required by state to mark a divers location. The "A" flag is a kind of navigational signal which indicates the vessel’s restricted maneuverability and do not pertain to diver.

You lift a 45N bag of mulch? 1.2meters and carry it a distance of 10 meters how much work was done
Anettt [7]
W = Fxd
However, when you carry it, the actual bag of mulch isnt changing height so the only work done on the actual bag is when you lift it.
W = 45N x 1.2m
= 54J
