Answer:

(a) FN = m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r})

(b) vmin = 17.146 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the arc is

r = 30m

The normal force acting on the car form the highest point is

FN = m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r})

If the normal force become 0 we have

m (g - \frac{v^{2} }{r}) = 0

or

g - \frac{v^{2} }{r} = 0

This way, when FN = 0, then v = vmin, so

g - \frac{vmin^{2} }{r} = 0

vmin = \sqrt[.]{g*r} = \sqrt[.]{9.8 m/s^{2} * 30m } = 17.146 m/s

Hazel recently read an article that claimed that radio waves can cause electron displacement. Based on
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Based on  the passage, the article's claim is not true.  Therefore, the answer is:

No, because radio waves  have energies that are too  low to fall in the ionizing  range.

Explanation:

Radio waves are generally known as forms of non-ionizing radiation.  This means that they do not have enough energy, unlike microwaves, to separate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.  They cannot cause electron displacement, as claimed in the article.  Therefore, they cannot break chemical bonds, which can cause chemical reactions or DNA damage. As non-ionizing radiation, radio waves occur at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.

hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 m/s and is 84 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a) t = 4.14 s

b) Speed with which it hits the ground = 40.58 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

g = 9.8 m/s², y = H = 84 m,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s,

final velocity, v = ?

Total Time of fall, t = ?

a) y = ut + gt²/2

84 = 0 + 9.8t²/2

4.9t² = 84

t² = 84/4.9

t = 4.14 s

b) v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 4.14)

v = 40.58 m/s

The 500 series bullet train travels between Tokyo and Hakata, Japan. If it is heading north with a momentum of 13,194,098.64 kg
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The mass of the 500 series bullet train is 181.4 tonnes.

Explanation:

The momentum is given by:

p = mv

Where:

m: is the mass =?

v: is the velocity = 261.8 km/h

p: is the momentum = 13194098.64 kg*m/s

By solving the above equation for "m" we have:

m = \frac{p}{v} = \frac{13,194,098.64 kg*m/s}{261.8 km/h*\frac{1000 m}{1 km}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s}} = 181.4 tonnes

Therefore, the mass of the 500 series bullet train is 181.4 tonnes.

I hope it helps you!

Assume we’re able to travel to your planet and decide to take some fireworks with us to celebrate our journey.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The horizontal distance covered by the firework will be \frac{1876.8}{g}

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to gravity on the planet be g, initial velocity of the firework be u and angle made with the horizontal be ∅.

writing equation of motion in vertical direction:

v_{y}=u_{y}+(-g) t

u_{y}= u\sin \phi

and v_{y}=0

therefore \frac{u\sin \phi }{g} =t

writing equation of motion in horizontal direction:

s_{x}=u_{x}t

u_{x} = u\cos \phi

therefore the equation becomes s_{x}=\frac{u^{2}   \sin \phi  \cos \phi}{g}

therefore horizontal distance traveled =\frac{u^{2}\sin 2\alpha \phi }{2g}=\frac{1876.8}{g}\frac{m}{s}
