On a trip to the Colorado Rockies, you notice that when the freeway goes steeply down a hill, there are emergency exits every fe

w miles. These emergency exits are straight ramps which leave the freeway and are sloped uphill. They are designed to stop runaway trucks and cars that lose their brakes on downhill stretches of the freeway even if the road is covered with ice. You are curious, so you stop at the next emergency exit to take some measurements. You determine that the exit rises at an angle of 10o from the horizontal and is 100m long. What is the maximum speed of a truck that you are sure will be stopped by this road, even if the frictional force of the road surface is negligible?

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.

Answer:

2271.16N/C  upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}

W=0.0375N

To calculate the electric field,

E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is  repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

A straight railroad track is being built to connect two cities. the measured distance of the track between the two cities is 160
elena55 [62]
Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop) 

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]


Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.
