a) 0.68 m/s^2

b) 964.5 N

c) 0.069

Explanation:

a)

When an object is moving in a circular motion, the direction of its velocity is changing - therefore, it has an acceleration towards the center of the circle, called centripetal acceleration.

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circle

For the car in this problem:

v = 40.0 km/h = 11.1 m/s is the speed

r = 180 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{11.1^2}{180}=0.68 m/s^2

b)

The centripetal force is the force that keeps the object along its circular motion. It also acts towards the center of the circle, and it is given by

F=ma

where

m is the mass of the object

a is the centripetal acceleration

Here the weight of the car is

W=mg=13,900 N

where

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So the mass is

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{13,900}{9.8}=1418.4 kg

Therefore, the centripetal force is

F=(1418.4)(0.68)=964.5 N

c)

In this case, the force of static friction between the tires and the road provides the required centripetal force to keep the car in circular motion. This force is given by:

F_f=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

Equating the frictional force to the centripetal force,

\mu mg=ma

So we get:

\mu=\frac{a}{g}

And substitutng:

a=0.68 m/s^2 (centripetal acceleration)

g=9.8 m/s^2

We find:

\mu=\frac{0.68}{9.8}=0.069

What is the net force (including direction and magnitude) acting on the object on the above left?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the net force on the right left is 25 N and is directed upward

the net force on the left one is zero because 200N force act upward and 200N force act downward so both cancel each other and net force is zero

i hope this will help you

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?
labwork [276]
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
