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

A vehicle moving with a uniform a acceleration of 2m/s and has a velocity of 4m/s at a certain time .
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1 second later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(1)= 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\

5 seconds later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the velocity of an object under constant accelerated motion (with acceleration "a"):

v(t)=v_0+a\,t

Therefore, in this case v_0=4\,\,\frac{m}{s}  and a=2\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

so we can estimate the velocity of the vehicle at different times just by replacing the requested "t" in the expression:

v(t)=v_0+a\,t\\v(t)=4+2\,\,t\\v(1)=4+2\,(1) = 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v(5)=4+2\,(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}

if a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering the relationship between force,

spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law

The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N

Which of the following statements is most closely associated with Einstein's general theory of relativity?
Fudgin [204]
The answer is the first one. That's because the general theory of relativity is the thing experiencing whatever is experiencing relative to something else. The second answer is just plain wrong. The third answer is just a constant, and doesn't relate to experiencing anything. And the fourth answer is a force between two objects, and it has no second comparison. The first answer is how a subject experiences two different things.
