A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 25 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional f

orce acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one third of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

Answer:

The velocity must be reduced to one third to stay on the road

Explanation:

The sideways force that friction must resist comes from the centrifugal acceleration due to the turn.

fc=mv2Rfc=mv2R

the frictional force is given by

ff=μmgff=μmg where μμ is the static friction coefficient

if the car is not to skid

fc≤fffc≤ff so    

mv2R≤μmgmv2R≤μmg

v≤μgR−−−−√v≤μgR

thus vv varies as the square root of μμ

so if μμ is reduced by 9, vv must be reduced by 9–√=39=3

and thus the speed must be reduced to<u> 26</u> m/s

A spring with a spring constant value of 125 N/m is compressed 12.2 cm by pushing on it with a 215 g block. When the block is re
allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 2.94 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.

Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.

Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means

(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

v^2 = (kx^2)/m

v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)

v = x * sqrt(k/m)

v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215)        <--- units converted to m and kg

v = 2.94 m/s

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 4.70s and lands 56.0m away (measured along the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

How long does the football need to rise?

4.70/3 = 2.35 s

What height will the football reach?

h = ½(9.81)2.35² = 27.1 m

With what speed does the punter need to kick the football?

vy = g•t = 9.81(2.35) = 23.1 m/s

vx = d/t = 56.0/4.70 = 11.9 m/s

v = √(vx²+vy²) = 26.0 m/s

At what angle (θ), with the horizontal, does the punter need to kick the football?

θ = arctan(vy/vx) = 62.7°
