in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.

What effect would this have on the volume of air space that was calculated? on the percentage of the volume that was air space? This is from 8th grade introductory physical science book 6th edition.

It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.

A 13561 N car traveling at 51.1 km/h rounds
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

a) The centripetal acceleration of the car is 0.68 m/s²

b) The force that maintains circular motion is 940.03 N.

c) The minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.069.

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration of the car can be found using the following equation:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Where:

v: is the velocity of the car = 51.1 km/h

r: is the radius = 2.95x10² m

a_{c} = \frac{(51.1 \frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000 m}{1 km}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s})^{2}}{2.95 \cdot 10^{2} m} = 0.68 m/s^{2}

Hence, the centripetal acceleration of the car is 0.68 m/s².

b) The force that maintains circular motion is the centripetal force:

F_{c} = ma_{c}

Where:

m: is the mass of the car

The mass is given by:

P = m*g

Where P is the weight of the car = 13561 N

m = \frac{P}{g} = \frac{13561 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 1382.4 kg

Now, the centripetal force is:

F_{c} = ma_{c} = 1382.4 kg*0.68 m/s^{2} = 940.03 N

Then, the force that maintains circular motion is 940.03 N.

c) Since the centripetal force is equal to the coefficient of static friction, this can be calculated as follows:

F_{c} = F_{\mu}

F_{c} = \mu N = \mu P

\mu = \frac{F_{c}}{P} = \frac{940.03 N}{13561 N} = 0.069

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.069.

I hope it helps you!
