I would say it reflects the sun easily. That’s also how we see it :)

A 1100 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 16 degrees. If the car is traveling at 95 km/h, will a frictio

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.

Explanation:

Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.

In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.

The net force is equal to $F = \frac{mv^2}{R} = \frac{1100\times (26.3)^2}{68} = 1.1\times 10^4~N$

Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.

This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.

$F = mg\sin(16) = 1100(9.8)\sin(16) = 2.97\times10^3$

As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.

The amount of the friction force should be $8.21\times 10^3~N$

Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per

Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

$V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\ - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\ - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\ - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr$

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

food product with 10 kg mass is being transported to thesurface of the moon,where the acceleration due to gravity is1.624 m/s2;

larisa [96]

Answer:

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity

m = Mass = 10 kg

Weight on Earth

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=10\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=98.1\ N$

Converting to lbf

$98.1\times 0.22481=22.053861\ lbf$

On Moon

$W=10\times 1.624\\\Rightarrow W=16.24\ N$

Converting to lbf

$16.24\times 0.22481=3.6509144\ lbf$

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?

algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>. That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".
