Answer:

a = 0.77 m/s^2

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{v^2}{R}$

The velocity of the car can be calculated using the circumference of the track and the period of the car.

$2\pi R = v T\\2\pi 2.6 = v 360\\v = 0.045 ~km/s = 45~m/s$

So, the acceleration is

$a = \frac{45^2}{2.6\times 10^3} = 0.77~m/s^2$

In which of the following conditions would there be the most resistance?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

A) A warm wire

Explanation:

A warm wire has the most resistance. Heating the metal wire causes atoms to vibrate more, which in turn makes it more difficult for the electrons to flow, increasing resistance. Heating the wire increases resistivity.

To see the acceleration graph, go to the x vs. t graph in “Frame 3” and change the vertical axis to ax. Now step through the mov

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The ax versus t graph stays in the range of 2.5 to 3 m/s2 for the first 2 seconds or so, and then it drops quickly to just below 0 m/s2. This corresponds well with the slope of the vx graph: relatively constant positive slope for the first 2.5 seconds, and then zero (and even negative) slope afterwards.

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if i

Sergio [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of fighter plane=2.3 m

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.3}{2}=1.15 m$

a.We have to find the angular velocity in radians per second if it spins=1200 rev/min

Frequency= $\frac{1200}{60}=20 Hz$

1 minute=60 seconds

Angular velocity= $\omega=2\pi f$

Angular velocity= $2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20=125.7 rad/s$

b.We have to find the linear speed of its tip at this angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac.

$v=r\omega=1.15\times 125.7=144.56 m/s$

c.Centripetal acceleration= $\omega^2 r=(125.7)^2(1.15)=18170.56 m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration== $\frac{18170.56\times g}{9.81}=1852.25 g m/s^2$

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does th

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The time constant τ = L/R represent the time requiered for the curent to get value of 63 % of its maximun value

Explanation:

In a circuit RL ( serie circuit with a resistor R and the inductor L ) when a voltage is applied the inductor will have a reaction, such reaction consist in the creation of an electromotive force which will prevent the current to get its maximun value. The time constant which in the case of an inductor is

τ = L/R , represent the time requiered for the crrent to be 63 % of its final value
