<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>

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms
BaLLatris [955]
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

The next four questions refer to the situation below.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

 t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in},      t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}

Explanation:

This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,

let's start with the swimmer going downstream

its speed is

         v_{sg 1} = v_{sr} + v_{rg}

The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth

with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion

           v_{sg1} = D / t_{out}

           D = v_{sg1}  t_{out}

now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point

        v_{sg 2} =  v_{sr}  - v_{rg}

         v_{sg 2} = D / t_{in}

         D = v_{sg 2}  t_{in}

with the distance is the same we can equalize

           v_{sg1} t_{out} = v_{sg2} t_{in}

          t_{out} =  t_{in}

           t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in}

This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time

            t_{in}= D / v_{sg2}

we substitute

            t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()

            t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.
