Acceleration = V^2/r = 18^2/ 30 = 10.8 m/s^2

Well, first of all, 18 m/s is the object's speed, but not its velocity.
Velocity consists of the object's speed AND direction, and this
particular object's direction is constantly changing, since it's
moving around a circle.  So its velocity is constantly changing too.

Centripetal acceleration  =  (speed)² / (radius)

                                           =  (18 m/s)² / (30 m)

                                           = (324 m²/s²) / (30 m)

                                           =       10.8 m/s²

                                       (about  1.1 G)

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

When you stretch a spring 20 cm past its natural length, it exerts a force of 8
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m
