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

You will now examine the relationship between the number of field lines through a surface and the tangle betwcen A and E) angle
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. cosθ b. E.A

Explanation:

a.The electric flux, Φ passing through a given area is directly proportional to the number of electric field , E, the area it passes through A and the cosine of the angle between E and A. So, if we have a surface, S of surface area A and an area vector dA normal to the surface S and electric field lines of field strength E passing through it, the component of the electric field in the direction of the area vector produces the electric flux through the area. If θ the angle between the electric field E and the area vector dA is zero ,that is θ = 0, the flux through the area is maximum. If  θ = 90 (perpendicular) the flux is zero. If θ = 180 the flux is negative. Also, as A or E increase or decrease, the electric flux increases or decreases respectively. From our trigonometric functions, we know that 0 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1 for  90 ≤ θ ≤ 0 and -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 0 for 180 ≤ θ ≤ 90. Since these satisfy the limiting conditions for the values of our electric flux, then cos θ is the required trigonometric function. In the attachment, there is a graph which shows the relationship between electric flux and the angle between the electric field lines and the area. It is a cosine function  

b. From above, we have established that our electric flux, Ф = EAcosθ. Since this is the expression for the dot product of two vectors E and A where E is the number of electric field lines passing through the surface and A is the area of the surface and θ the angle between them, we write the electric flux as Ф = E.A

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?
julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
  • Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
  • <u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
  • Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.
