What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 22 km/h and the coef

First, let's put 22 km/h in m/s:

22 \frac{km}{h} \times  \frac{1000m}{1km}  \times  \frac{1h}{3600s}=6.11 \frac{m}{s}

Now the radial force required to keep an object of mass m, moving in circular motion around a radius R, is given by

F_{rad}=m \frac{v^2}{R}

The force of friction is given by the normal force (here, just the weight, mg) times the static coefficient of friction:

F_{fric}= mg \mu_{s}

Notice we don't use the kinetic coefficient even though the bike is moving.  This is because when the tires meet the road they are momentarily stationary with the road surface.  Otherwise the bike is skidding.

Now set these equal, since friction is the only thing providing the ability to accelerate (turn) without skidding off the road in a line tangent to the curve:

m\frac{v^2}{R} = mg \mu_{s} \\ \\ \frac{v^2}{R} = g \mu_{s} \\ \\R= \frac{v^2}{g \mu_{s}} \\ \\ R= \frac{6.11}{9.8 \times 0.37}=1.685m

1. The gravitational force acting on a falling body and its weight is constant. But the law of universal gravitation tells us th
vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.

. A solenoid coil consists of a single layer of 250 circular turns of wire with each turn having a 0.02m radius. The axial lengt
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)    L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H,  b)U = 5.33 10⁻²  J

Explanation:

a) The inductance is a solenoid this given carrier

           L = \frac{N \ \phi_B }{I}

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

          B = μ₀ \frac{N}{l}  i

hence the magnetic flux

          Ф_B = B. A = μ₀ \frac{N \ A}{l \ i}

we substitute in the expression of inductance

          L = N² μ₀ A /l

let's find the area of ​​each turn

          A = π r²

         A = π 0.02²

         A = 1.2566 10⁻³ m²

let's calculate

          L = 250² 4π 10⁻⁷ 1.2566 10⁻² / 0.3

          L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H

b) The stored energy is

           U = ½ L i²

let's calculate

            U = ½ 3.29 10⁻⁴ 18²

            U = 5.33 10⁻²  J

The peak value of an alternating current in a 1500-W device is 6.4 A. What is the rms voltage across it
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

6787.5 V

Explanation:

From the question,

P = IV..................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = rms current, V = rms voltage.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P/I................. Equation 2

Given: P = 1500 W, I = 6.4/√2 = 4.525 A

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1500(4.525)

V = 6787.5 V

Hence the rms voltage = 6787.5 V
