A car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d

irection of its motion. If the driver of the car doesn't hit the brake OR the gas, how will the curve affect the motion of the car?

Answer:

The answer is The car's speed will remain constant and its direction will change.

Explanation:

The answer is The car's speed will remain constant and its direction will change. The applied force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, so the speed of the car won't change. Going into a curve doesn't necessarily change the speed of the object.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

V = \pi r^{2}h

put r = h/2 so,

V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
