Answer:

r=61.65m

Explanation:

Since the package remains in contact with the car's seat, the package's speed is equal to the car's speed. At the top on the mountain the package's centripetal force must be equal to its weight:

mg=F_c

The centripetal force is defined as:

F_c=ma_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Here v is the linear speed of the object and r is the radius of curvature. We need to convert the linear speed to \frac{m}{s}:

88.5\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=24.58\frac{m}{s}

Now, we calculate r:

mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{v^2}{g}\\r=\frac{(24.58\frac{m}{s})^2}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\\r=61.65m

Jessica has a mass of 55kg she sleds down a hill that has a slope of 32 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is alo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

W = 285.62 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Jessica is 55 kg

Slope of the hill is 32 degrees

We need to find the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion.

The component along her direction of motion is shown in attached figure. It means

W_y=mg\sin\theta\\\\W_y=55\times 9.8\times \sin(32)\\\\W_y=285.62\ N

So, the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion is 285.62 N.

Briefly answer the following questions. a) A clock is mounted on the wall. As you look at it, what is the direction of the angul
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b )  If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c )  If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth  the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible  that  a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the  shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic   energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.

2 forces are acting on a body. I forgot the body doesn't it's position or shape, the forces.......a)must be of equal magnitude b
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

only if there is a net force of zero, the body will not move

some people may say B but that is wrong because maybe one force is greater than the other so the object would still move even though the forces are in opposite directions and parallel

In the early part of the 1900s, psychologists who broke down thought processes into their basic elements and analyzed them were
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: Cognitive

Explanation:

Cognition can be defined as the process of obtaining the knowledge and learning through the experience, senses and thought. Many psychologists can have similar experiences of learning the psychological framework of the society or at the individual level. Thus this can be said that the cognitive psychologist may have similar interests.
