<span>51 degrees. Since we're ignoring friction, we have to have a banking angle such that the normal force is exactly perpendicular to the banked curve. Since this problem says "ignore friction", if the bank angle is too shallow, the bobsled would slide outwards if the banking angle is too shallow and would fall inwards if the banking angle is too steep. So we have to exactly match the calculated centripetal acceleration. The equation for centripetal acceleration is: F = mv^2/r I'll assume a mass of 1 kg to keep the math simple. Any mass could be used and the direction vectors would be the same except their magnitude would differ. So F = 1 kg * (35 m/s)^2/100 m F = 1225 kg*m^2/s^2 / 100 m F = 12.25 kg*m/s^2 The local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, so the sum of those vectors will have a length of sqrt(12.25^2 + 9.8^2) and an angle of atan(9.8/12.25) below the horizon. The magnitude of the vector doesn't matter, merely the angle which is: atan(9.8/12.25) = atan(0.8) = 38.65980825 degrees. The banking angle needs to be perpendicular to the force vectors. So 90 - 38.65980825 = 51.34019175 degrees. Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a bank angle of 51 degrees.</span>

If a subway train is moving to the left (has a negative velocity) and then comes to a stop, what is the direction of its acceler
Katen [24]

Answer:

The acceleration would be positive, pointing to the right.

Explanation:

The acceleration tells us how velocity changes every second. If the train stops, this means its velocity must go from a non-zero value to zero.

To reduce velocity, acceleration must point to the opposite direction. Since velocity is negative, acceleration must be positive.

A wave with a height of 6 would have greater amplitude than a wave with a height of 5 true or false? HELP
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

it could be either or because it doesnt just depend on the height but it also depends on the pressure but then again the question didnt ask anything about the pressure so the answer should be true

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min
