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

Explain what happens inside the radiation zone that causes the photon to take so long to exit the sun

DaniilM [7]

-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.

-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).

-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,

-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.

A 70.9-kg boy and a 43.2-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sendin

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy $m_b=70.9\ kg$

mass of girl $m_g=43.2\ kg$

speed of girl after push $v_g=4.64\ m/s$

Suppose speed of boy after push is $v_b$

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

$P_i=P=f$

$0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64$

$v_b=-2.82\ m/s$

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

So

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

So

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$
