A car weighing 10.7 kN and traveling at 13.6 m/s without negative lift attempts to round an unbanked curve with a radius of 64.0

m. (a) What magnitude of the frictional force on the tires is required to keep the car on its circular path? (b) If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.39, is the attempt at taking the curve successful or not ("yes" or "no")?

a) 3156 N

b) Yes

Explanation:

a)

When a car moves along a curved road, the frictional force between the tires and the road must provide the required centripetal force in order to keep the car in circular motion.

Therefore, the frictional force must be equal to the centripetal force:

F_f=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

m is the mass of the car

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

In this problem, we have:

mg=10.7 kN = 10,700 N is the weight of the car, so the mass of the car is

m=\frac{mg}{g}=\frac{10700}{9.8}=1092 kg is the mass

r = 64.0 m is the radius of the curve

v = 13.6 m/s is the speed of the car

Therefore, the magnitude of the frictional force is

F_f=(1092)\frac{13.6^2}{64.0}=3156 N

b)

The magnitude of the force of static friction between the tires and the road is given by

F_f=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the car

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem,

\mu=0.39 is the coefficient of friction

m = 1092 kg is the mass

So the force of friction is

F_f=(0.39)(1092)(9.8)=4174 N

And we see that this force is larger than the centripetal force calculated in part a) and required to keep the car in circular motion: therefore, yes, the coefficient of friction is large enough to keep the car along the curve.

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.

A iron block with a mass of 4.8 kg initially slides over a rough horizontal surface with a speed of 1.2 m/s. Friction slows the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of block will be converted into heat energy by friction .

Heat energy produced = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 4.8 x 1.2²

= 3.456 J

85% of energy is converted into heat energy , so heat energy produced

= .85 x 3.456 = 2.9376 J .

If Q heat is given to m mass of object having s as specific heat and Δt is increase in temperature

Q = msΔt

specific heat of iron s = 462 J / kg C

Putting the values ,

2.9376 = 4.8 x 462 x Δt

Δt = 13.24 x 10⁻⁴ ⁰C.
