Driving your car with a constant speed of 11 m/s, you encounter a hump in the road with a circular cross section. If the radius

of curvature of the hump is 54 m, what is the apparent weight of a 80 kg person in your car as you pass over the top of the hump?

Answer:604.74 N

Explanation:

Given

Speed of car=11 m/s

radius of curvature is 54 m

mass of person=80 kg

At Top

$mg-N=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where N=normal reaction

$N=mg-\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N=80\time 9.8-\frac{80\times 11^2}{54}$

N=604.74 N

Apparent weight will be equal to Normal reaction

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be $1.835\times 10^{-6}J$

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = $1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m$

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 $m^2$

Separation is given as d 1 mm = $10^{-3}m$

We know that capacitance is given by $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F$

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by $E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J$

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
