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

Calculate the pressure exerted by a 4000N camel on the sand. The camel’s feet have a
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by camel feet is <u>2000 N/m²</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

Here, we have given that ;

  • Force applied on camel feet = 4000 N
  • Total area of camel feet = 2 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

As we know that :

{\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}}}

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}} \\  \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{4000}{2}}}}  \\  \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \cancel{\dfrac{4000}{2}}}}} \\  \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}} \\  \\\star \:  \small\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}

Hence, the pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases
andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

Hi, I need your help with this Physics exercise, I hope you can help me A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represen
igomit [66]

Answer:

Velocity = 0.309 m/s

Along negative x axis

Explanation:

A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represented by the wave function

y(x,t) = 2/ (x - 3t)² + 1

At t =0

y(x,0) = 2/ ((x - 3(0))² + 1)

        =2 / (x² + 1)

At t = 1

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(1))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 3)² + 1)

At t = 2

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(2))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 6)² + 1)

For the pulse with expression y(x,t) = 4.5e^{-(8.73x + 2.70t)}²

The Velocity is

V = 2.7 / 8.73

= 0.309 m/s

An astronaut takes an object to the moon where there is less gravity. Explain how the mass and weight of the object on the moon
alexandr1967 [171]
The mass of the object will remain the same rather it's on the moon or on the Earth and even in other places. But the weight will change on the moon, so its weight will be different from the one it had on Earth
