A police officer in hot pursuit of a criminal drives her car through an unbanked circular (horizontal) turn of radius 300 m at a
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is <u>10°.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the driver is, m=55\ kg

Radius of circular turn is, R=300\ m

Linear speed of the car is, v=22.2\ m/s

Since, the car makes a circular turn, the driver experiences a centripetal force radially inward towards the center of the circular turn. Also, the driver experiences a downward force due to her weight. Therefore, two forces act on the driver which are at right angles to each other.

The forces are:

1. Weight = mg=55\times 9.8=539\ N

2. Centripetal force, 'F', which is given as:

F=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\F=\frac{55\times (22.2)^2}{300}\\\\F=\frac{55\times 492.84}{300}\\\\F=\frac{27106.2}{300}=90.354\ N

Now, the angle of the net force acting on the driver with respect to the vertical is given by the tan ratio of the centripetal force (Horizontal force) and the weight (Vertical force) and is shown in the triangle below. Thus,

\tan \theta=\frac{90.354}{539}\\\tan \theta=0.1676\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.1676)=9.52\approx 10°

Therefore, the angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is 10°.

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. An identical charge particle enters
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<em>The second particle will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle</em>

Explanation:

For a charged particle, the force on the particle is given as

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

also recall that work is force times the distance traveled

work = F x d

so, the work on the particle = F x d,

where the distance traveled by the particle in one revolution = 2\pi r

Work on a particle = 2πrF = 2\pi mv^{2}

This work is proportional to the energy of the particle.

And the work is also proportional to the radius of travel of the particles.

Since the second particle has a bigger speed v, when compared to the speed of the first particle, then, the the second particle has more energy, and thus will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle.

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW
