levacccp [35]

Answer:

The minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.

Explanation:

The radius of the loop is 17.6 m. We need to find the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top.

We know that, mg be the weight of car and rider, which is equal to the centripetal force.

$mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{rg}\\v = \sqrt{17.6\times 9.8}\\v = 13.13\ m/s\\$

So, the minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.

A uniform beam with mass M and length L is attached to the wall by a hinge, and supported by a cable. A mass of value 3M is susp

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The tension is $T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg$

The horizontal force provided by hinge $Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the beam is $m_b =M$

The length of the beam is $l = L$

The hanging mass is $m_h = 3M$

The length of the hannging mass is $l_h = \frac{3}{4} l$

The angle the cable makes with the wall is $\theta = 60^o$

The free body diagram of this setup is shown on the first uploaded image

The force $F_x \ \ and \ \ F_y$ are the forces experienced by the beam due to the hinges

Looking at the diagram we ca see that the moment of the force about the fixed end of the beam along both the x-axis and the y- axis is zero

$\sum F =0$

Now about the x-axis the moment is

$F_x -T cos \theta = 0$

=> $F_x = Tcos \theta$

Substituting values

$F_x =T cos (60)$

$F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)$

Now about the y-axis the moment is

$F_y + Tsin \theta = M *g + 3M *g ----(2)$

Now the torque on the system is zero because their is no rotation

So the torque above point 0 is

$M* g * \frac{L}{2} + 3M * g \frac{3L}{2} - T sin(60) * L = 0$

$\frac{Mg}{2} + \frac{9 Mg}{4} - T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = 0$

$\frac{2Mg + 9Mg}{4} = T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

$T = \frac{11Mg}{4} * \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }$

$T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg$

The horizontal force provided by the hinge is

$F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)$

Now substituting for T

$F_{x} = \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } * \frac{1}{2}$

$Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg$

Compare the numbers of protons and electrons in a positive ion with the numbers of protons and electrons in a negative ion.

kow [346]

Answer:

In a positive ion, the number of protons is larger than the number of electrons.

In a negative ion, the number of protons is smaller than the number of electrons.

Explanation:

Each proton carries a positive charge of one unit.

Each elec in tron carries a negative charge of one unit.

In an atom, there are as many protons as electrons. Hence, they are neutral.

However, in a positive ion, there are less negative charge than positive charge. Hence the net charge is positive. That also means that there are fewer negatively-charged electrons than positively-charged protons.

Similarly, in a negative ion, there are more negative charge than positive charge. Hence the net charge is negative. That also means that there are more negatively-charged electrons than positively-charged protons.
