A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?
asambeis [7]
So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

jet is flying at 500 mph east relative to the ground. A Cessna is flying at 150 mph 60° north of west relative to the ground. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of jet, v_j=500\ mph
  • direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
  • velocity of Cessna, v_c=150\ mph
  • direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph

&

\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)

\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c

\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )

\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.
