A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle

has the road been banked? (Ignore friction.)

The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.

How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be

konstantin123 [22]

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a. up

Explanation:

As per the rule of Fleming left hand, the three fingers should be places in a perpendicular manner i.e. mutually also.

The fore finger depicts the field direction

The middle finger depicts the velocity

And, the thumb finger depicts the force direction that experienced on that particle i.e. charged

So the electrons would be deflects to up

Hence, the correct option is a.
