<span>The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration.
The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N.
a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r.
The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec.
So a_N = 114 m/sec^2.
g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.</span>
<u>Note that</u>:
The gravitational potential energy = 
where m: is the mass, g: the acceleration due to the gravity and h is the height from the earth surface
Then, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by increasing the mass or the height from the earth surface
<u>In our question</u>, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by
<u>A) Strap a boulder to the car so that it wights more.</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg
Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg
The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows


b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

substitute the value in the equation above

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
