A car drives around a horizontal, circular track at constant speed. Consider the following three forces that act on the car: (1)

The upward normal force exerted on the car by the road, (2) the downward gravitational force on the car, (3) and the frictional force that is directed toward the center of the circular path.
Which of these forces does zero work on the car as the car moves along the circular path?  1, 2, and 3   3   1 and 2

Answer: 1, 2 and 3.

Explanation:

By definition, work, is the process through which a force, applied on an object, produces a displacement of this object, and can be expressed as the dot product of the force vector and the displacement vector.

It can be also understood as the projection of the force in the direction of the displacement, so, if both vectors are perpendicular, as the projection of one vector along the other is nul, if a force and the displacement are perpendicular, no work is done.

In our case, the 3 forces mentioned, are perpendicular respect the displacement.

For normal force and gravity, as they act vertically, and the car moves along an horizontal trajectory, both are perpendicular, so no work is done.

For the friction force, as it is the only horizontal force present, it is just the centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a circular path.

It always aims to the center of the circle, along the radius at any point, so it is always perpendicular to the displacement also.

Physics how to calculate disintegration energy
dimulka [17.4K]
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data (a) Calculate the disintegration energy when 232/92U decays by alpha emission into 228/90Th. Atomic masses of 232/92U and 228/90Th are 232.037156u and 228.028741u, respectively. (b) For the 232/92U decay in part (a), how much of the disintegration energy will be carried off by the alpha particle? Given: Mass of 4/2He = 4.002603u c^2 = 931.5MeV


2. Relevant equations E=mc^2
 

3. The attempt at a solution Well for part (a), first I found the difference in the starting masses and the end masses ie, 232.037156u - (228.028741u + 4.002603u) = 0.005812u I then put this into the equation and got 5.413878MeV. I thought this was right until I read part (b) and now I'm starting to think this might be how I'm meant to do that part, not part (a). Could anyone tell me if I'm even on the right track with this question or should I be using different equations?

The amplitude of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a vacuum is measured to be 3.5 x 10^2 v/m. What is t
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:B=1.166 \times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

Given

Amplitude of Electric field is 3.5\times 10^2

We know the relation between Electric field and Magnetic field is

E=cB

Where

E=Electric Field

c=speed of light

B=Magnetic field

B=\frac{E}{c}

B=\frac{3.5\times 10^2}{3\times 10^8}

B=1.166 \times 10^{-6} T
