Answer:

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

and

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

Explanation:

distance of Center of mass from his feet = L

Mass of man = M

Radius of turn = R

Speed = v

distance between the feet =d

Centrifugal force = M×v×v/R = F

Moment due to this force = FL

now as per the situation in the question

force on feet = Force on feet 1 + force on feet 2 = F1 + F2 = Mg

Now, balancing the moment we get by taking moment about feet 2

moment about feet 2 ( outward in the turn) = moment due to centrifugal force ( + ve ) + moment due to weight ( -ve ) + moment due to normal on foot 1 ( + ve) = 0

⇒\frac{Mv^2L}{r} -\frac{Mgd}{2}+\frac{F_1 d}{2} = 0\

solving the above equation we get

F_1= Mg- \frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

therefore,

F_2=\frac{2Mv^2L}{Rd}

The object represented by this graph is moving
Vinil7 [7]

The object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the figure, x-axis is representing increase in the time and y-axis is presenting increase in the distance from bottom to up. But the line in the graph which is plotted is decreasing from high distance to small distance with increase in time. So this indicates that as the time is increasing, the distance is decreasing.

And the object is moving toward the origin as the distance of the object motion is found to decrease with increase of time as per the graph. But the slope of the graph is found to be almost constant, this indicates that the velocity of the object is constant. Thus, the object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

The temperature of 1 m^3 of water is decreased by 10°C. If this thermal energy is used to lift the water vertically against grav
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

h = 4271.43 m

Explanation:

given,

Volume of the water = 1 m³

temperature decrease by = 10°C

heat removed from water

Q = m c ΔT                            

Q = ρ V c ΔT                            

   = 1000 × 1 × 4186 × 10

   = 4.186 × 10⁷ J

energy is used to do work to move the water against its weight

Q = force  × displacement

4.186 × 10⁷ J =  m g × h                    

4.186 × 10⁷ J =  1000 × 1 × 9.8 × h                

h = 4271.43 m                                

hence, the change in height of is equal to h = 4271.43 m

A curve of radius 166 m is banked at an angle of 11°. An 736-kg car negotiates the curve at 81 km/h without skidding. Neglect th
lianna [129]

Answer:

F_n = 7509.33\ N

Explanation:

given,

radius of curve = 166 m

angle of the banked road = 11°

mass of car = 736 Kg

speed of the curve = 81 km/h

                                = 81 x 0.278 = 22.52 m/s

normal force acting on the tires

on tire there will be two force acting on it

first one will be force acting due to weight and the other force acting on the tire is due to centripetal force.

F_n = m g cos \theta+ \dfrac{mv^2}{r} sin \theta

F_n = 736 \times 9.8 \times cos 11^0+\dfrac{736 \times 22.52^2}{166} sin 11^0

F_n = 7080.28+429.047

F_n = 7509.33\ N
