<span>The current system of units has three standard units: The meter, kilogram, and second. These three units form the mks-system or the metric system. A meter is a unit of length, currently defined as the distance light travels within 1/299782458th of a second. A kilogram is a unit of mass.</span>

A car goes round a curve of radius 48m, the road is banked at an angle of 15 with the horizontal,at what maximum speed may the c

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram. There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.

A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

$d = 625 m + 362 m$

total time is given as

$t = 15 s + 139 s$

so average velocity is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}$

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Suppose I have a vector that is 7 units long and that makes an angle of +30 degrees from the positive x-axis. I want to add to t

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Explanation:

We have given first vector which has length of 7 units and makes an angle of 30° with positive x-axis

So x component of the vector $=7cos30^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06$

y component of the vector $=7sin30^{\circ}=7\times 0.5=3.5$

So vector will be 6.06i+3.5j

Now other vector of length of 7 units and makes an angle of 120° with positive x-axis

So x component of vector $=7cos120^{\circ}=7\times -0.5=-3.5i$

y component of the vector $=7sin120^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06j$

Now sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

$Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}$

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.
