A student builds and calibrates an accelerometer and uses it to determine the speed of her car around a certain unbanked highway

curve. The accelerometer is a plumb bob with a protractor that she attaches to the roof of her car. A friend riding in the car with the student observes that the plumb bob hangs at an angle of 15.0° from the vertical when the car has a speed of 21.5 m/s. (a) What is the centripetal acceleration of the car rounding the curve? m/s2 (b) What is the radius of the curve? m (c) What is the speed of the car if the plumb bob deflection is 7.00° while rounding the same curve? m/s

Answer:

a) 9.46M m/s^2

b) 48.83m

c) 68.22m/s

Explanation:

The centripetal force must be equal to the horizontal component (x component) of the gravitational force over the plum bob. Thus, we have

F_C=F_{xg}=Mgcos\theta=M\frac{v^2}{r}  ( 1 )

where M is the mass of the car, v its speed, r the radius of the curvature and g the gravity constant.

a) By replacing we obtain:

F_c=M(9.8m/s^2)(cos15\°)=9.46M\ m/s^2   ( 2 )

where it is only necessary to put the mass of the car M in (2).

b) By canceling M in (2) and taking apart r we get:

gcos\theta =\frac{v^2}{r}\\\\r=\frac{v^2}{gcos\theta}=\frac{(21.5m/s)^2}{(9.8m/s^2)cos15\°}=48.83m

c) If the angle is 7° the speed is given by:

v=\sqrt{gcos\theta r}=\sqrt{(9.8m/s^2)(cos7\°)(48.83m)}=68.22\frac{m}{s}

hope this helps!!

Brut [27]

Answer: 529.9 Hz

Explanation:

Here we need to use the Doppler equation, so we have:

f' = f*(v + v0)/(v - vs)

Here, f is the frequency = 500Hz

v is the velocity of the wave, = 334m/s

v0 is the velocity of the observer = 20m/s

vs is the velocity of the source = 0m/s

Then we have:

f' = 500Hz*(334m/s + 20m/s)/(334m/s) = 529.9 Hz

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 31.0 nC , respecti
allsm [11]

Answer:

The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law

Φ = Q/ε₀

where;

Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C

Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀

Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q =  −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC

Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃

− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃

− 21.7nC = q₃

Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC
