The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight as the car goes through a dip with a 10 m radius

of curvature.What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?
Physics

Diano4ka-milaya [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

7 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

When the weight is 50% more, if the actual weight is W, the weight at the dip will be 1.5  Mg . At the bottom, the forces acting are

Weight Mg , vertically downwards

Centripetal force towards the center of the circle

and the normal force N = 1.5 Mg, that acts towards the center

N -  Mg =  Mv²÷ r

1.5 Mg - Mg = M v² ÷ r

0.5  g = v² ÷ 10

⇒ v = 7 ms⁻¹ Car's speed at the bottom of the dip.

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{a_cr}

v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}

v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s

A charge of 7.2 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 4.8 × 105 StartFraction N over C EndFraction. If the
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.2 meters

Explanation:

Potential energy, PE created by a charge, q at a radius r from the charge source, Q,  is expressed as:

KE=\frac{kQq}{r}\     \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

k is Coulomb's constant.

#The electric field,E at radius r is expressed as:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii

From i and ii, we have:

KE=Eqr

r=(KE)/Eq

#Substitute actual values in our equation:

r=\frac{75J}{(7.2\times 10^{-5}C)(4.8\times 10^5 V/m)}\\\\=2.1701\approx2.2\ m

Hence, the distance between the charge and the source of the electric field is 2.2 meters
