Holly puts a box into the trunk of her car. Later, she drives around an unbanked curve that has a radius of 48 m. The speed of t

he car on the curve is 16 m/s, but the box remains stationary relative to the floor of the trunk. Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction for the box on the floor of the trunk.

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the curve, R = 48 m

Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s

To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:

The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

f_{s} = \mu_{s}mg

where

\mu_{s} = coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:

F_{net} = f_{s} - F_{c}  

0 = f_{s} - F_{c}  

\mu_{s}mg = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{gR}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{16^{2}}{9.8\times 48} = 0.544

ratelena [41]

The displacement in simple harmonic motion is maximum when the velocity is zero

Answer: Option 5

<u>Explanation: </u>

Displacement is the measure of variation between the end position and starting position. So displacement is path independent, it is completely based on them. As in simple harmonic motions, the net displacement is zero if the velocity seems to be maximum.

Because the motion of simple harmonic is to return to the starting point for a single oscillation. So, the displacement is opposite directions to the velocity. Thus if the displacement is required to be maximum for the simple harmonic motions, the velocity should be zero.

Option B is the answer.
It took 380,000 years for electrons to be trapped in orbits around nuclei, forming the first atoms. These were mainly helium and hydrogen, which are still by far the most abundant elements in the universe.
