7. A toy car of mass 1.2 kg is driving vertical circles inside a hollow cylinder of radius 2.0m. It is moving at a constant spee
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)

N_{top}=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=33.4N

b) v_{min}=4.4m/s

Explanation:

The net force on the car must produce the centripetal acceleration necessary to make this circle, which is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}. At the top of the circle, the normal force and the weight point downwards (like the centripetal force should), while at the bottom the normal force points upwards (like the centripetal force should) and the weight downwards, so we have (taking the upwards direction as positive):

-m\frac{v^2}{R}=-N_{top}-mg\\m\frac{v^2}{R}=N_{bottom}-mg

Which means:

N_{top}=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}-(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=m\frac{v^2}{R}+mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}+(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=33.4N

The limit for falling off would be N_{top}=0, so the minimum speed would be:

0=m\frac{v_{min}^2}{R}-mg\\v_{min}=\sqrt{Rg}=\sqrt{(2m)(9.8m/s^2)}=4.4m/s

Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 a.m. to drive to San Francisco, 400 mi away. He travels at a steady 46.0 mph . Beth leaves Los A
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25 min, 48 sec

Explanation:

Alan:

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 46 mph = 8.70 hr

So it took Alan 8.70 hrs; from 8 am, that's 4:42 pm that he arrives.

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 55 mph = 7.27 hr

So it took Beth 7.27 hrs; from 9 am, that's 4:16:12 that she arrives.

4:42 - 4:16:12 = 25.8 minutes = 25 minutes, 48 sec

N in-ground swimming pool has the dimensions shown in the drawing. It is filled with water to a uniform depth of 3.00 m. The den
Doss [256]

Answer:

The pressure is  P = 1.31*10^{5} \ Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The depth of the swimming pool is  d =  3.00 \  m

     The density of water is  \rho = 1.00*10^{3} \  kg /m^3

Generally the  total pressure exerted on the bottom of the swimming pool is mathematically represented as

          P = P_o + \rho * g * h

Here P_o is the atmospheric pressure with value

        P_o  =  101325 \  Pa

So

        P = 101325 + [1000 * 9.8 * 3]

=>     P = 130725 \ Pa

=>    P = 1.31*10^{5} \ Pa

A spring with spring constant of 26 N/m is stretched 0.22 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.503 J

Explanation:

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke²

W = 1/2ke²........................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = spring constant, e = extension.

Given: k = 26 N/m, e = (0.22+0.12), = 0.34 m.

Substitute into equation 1

W = 1/2(26)(0.34²)

W = 13(0.1156)

W = 1.503 J.

Hence the work done to stretch it an additional 0.12 m = 1.503 J
