A puck is sliding around a circular track that is banked at an angle with respect to the horizontal such that no friction betwee

n the puck and the track is required to keep the puck from slipping up or down the track. If the puck is moving at a speed 31.9 m/s and the radius of the track is 421 m, determine θ .

Answer:

θ = 14.27°

Explanation:

The only force acting on the puck is the gravitational force. Since the track is banked with an angle θ, we have to separate the components of the weight.

For the sake of simplicity, I will denote the perpendicular direction to the truck as the y-direction, and the direction along the radius as the x-direction.

So, the free-body diagram of the puck is as follows:

1- x-component of the weight of the puck: mgsinθ

2- y-component of the weight of the puck: mgcosθ

3- Normal force in the y-direction perpendicular to the track.

Since there is no motion on the y-direction, normal force is equal to the y-component of the weight of the puck.

The x-component of the weight of the puck is equal to the centripetal force according to Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\mg\sin{\theta} = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\\sin{\theta} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Substituting the variables given in the question, the angle of the track can be found:

\sin{\theta} = \frac{(31.9)^2}{(9.8)(421)} = 0.2466\\\theta = 14.27^\circ

As a planet's semimajor axis gets smaller, its speed will _______ and its period will _________ .
Rufina [12.5K]
Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />
