Galaxies are sprawling systems of dust, gas, dark matter, and anywhere from a million to a trillion stars that are held together by gravity. Nearly all large galaxies are thought to also contain supermassive black holes at their centers.
Answer: 459.14 N
Explanation:
from the question, we have
diameter = 10 m
radius (r) = 5 m
weight (Fw) = 670 N
time (t) = 8 seconds
Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below
∑ F = F c = F w − Fn ..............equation 1
Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2
substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have
Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r
Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2) ..........equation 3
Fw (mass of the person) = mg
therefore m = Fw / g
m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg
now substituting our values into equation 3
Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)
Fn = 670 - 210.86
Fn = 459.14 N
1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g
2. Find the acceleration due to friction:
F = m*a = μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t²
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:
m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash
m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s
