Answer:
Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m
The coefficient of friction,
To find,
The maximum speed of car.
Solution,
Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :
v = 17.37 m/s
So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
We can solve both problems using Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F =m*a
where:
F = force [N] (units of newtons)
m = mass = 1000 [kg]
a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]
And the weight of any body can be calculated by means of the mass product by gravitational acceleration.
Answer:
a) 600 meters
b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.
c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s
Explanation:
a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:
b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.
Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change) of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.
c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:
Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:
