The coefficient of static friction is 0.222

Explanation:

In order for the car to remain in circular motion, the frictional force must be able to provide the necessary centripetal force. Therefore, the car will start skidding when the two forces are equal:

$\mu mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the track

In this problem, we have:

r = 564 m

v = 35 m/s

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

And re-arranging the equation for $\mu$ , we can find the coefficient of static friction:

$\mu = \frac{v^2}{gr}=\frac{35^2}{(9.8)(564)}=0.222$

Answer:

a) W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J, b) U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

W = F . x

the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric

F = q E

we substitute

F = q E x

the charge of the electron is

q = - e

F = - e E x

let's calculate

W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²

W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

b) the change in potential energy is

U = q ΔV

the potential difference is

ΔV = - E. Δs

we substitute

U = - q E Δs

the charge of the electron is

q = - e

U = e E Δs

we calculate

U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²

U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

sergiy2304 [10]

We are given an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 5.09 x 10^14 Hz and travelling through a transparent medium. If the medium was vacuum, the speed of the wave would be equal to the speed of light. Otherwise, the main factor that would determine the speed of the wave is its wavelength.

An aurora occurs when ____

ASHA 777 [7]

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

B) What are the only two sources of energy that produce all the energy we use on Earth? What form

Zina [86]

Answer:

Solar and nuclear power generate more than 99 percent of our civilization's energy. Every other important source of energy is a combination of these two. The majority of them are solar in nature. We discharge previously collected solar energy when we burn wood.

and

Nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal, and natural gas), and renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower) are all examples of primary energy sources.
