What physics concept underlies these three observations? When passing an oncoming truck on the highway, your car tends to sway t

oward the truck. The canvas roof of a convertible automobile bulges upward when the car is traveling at high speeds. The windows of older trains sometimes break when a high-speed train passes by on the next track.

Answer:

The underlying principle is the bernoulli's principle of fluid flow which states that a slow moving air stream exerts more pressure than a faster moving air stream

Explanation:

The air stream between the car and the truck experiences more drag and therefore has a relatively higher speed than the air stream on the other side of the car, this means the air on the other side exerts more side force on the car, the net side force causes the car to swoop sideways towards the truck.

The same applies to a moving convertible car at high speed. The air outside has a higher relative velocity than the air inside the car. The inside air exerts more force on the canvass roof causing it to bulge upwards.

The windows of old train crack due to the pressure from the air within the old train which moves at a lower relative speed to that between the train and the speed train.

At which position is the LOWEST potential energy?
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.

Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act
salantis [7]


The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body



If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.


Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m
