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

Explain why a ball thrown in space could keep moving forever, while a ball thrown here on Earth will come to a stop.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gent
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

The radii of the sprocket assemblies and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are:
Furkat [3]
To solve this task we have to make a proportion, but firstly we have to set up all the main points : so, the distance is  s=r(B), that has its <span>r=radius,B=angle in rad velocity v=ds/dt= w(r)
Do not forget about </span> w = angular speed in rad/s and w1 = 1 revolution/sec = 2Pi (rad/s)
Now we can go to proportion
v1=v2
w1*r1 = w2r2w2 = w1 * r1/r2 = 2w1 = 4Pi (rad/s)
w2 = w3 (which is the   angular velocity of the rear wheel) &#10;
SOLVING FOR A : v3 = w3 * r3 = 4pi * 14 (inch/s) = 14.66 ft/sec
v3 = 14.66 ft/sec(1 mile/5280 ft)( 3600 sec/h)= 9.99 or something about <span>10 mph --- SOLVING FOR B.
</span>I'm sure it helps!

If two opposite charges get farther apart, does their attraction for each other increase, decrease, or remain the same?​
wlad13 [49]

The force between them <em>decreases</em><em>,</em> as the square of the distance.

For example ...

-- If you move them apart to double the original distance, the force becomes (1/2²) = 1/4 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 3 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/3²) = 1/9 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 5 times the original distance, the force becomes  (1/5²) = 1/25 of the original force.

(Gravity works exactly the same way.)
