Answer:

The second leg of the triangle is 35.62

Explanation:

Given that

Hypotenuse = 37

A leg = 10

Based on the above information

The second leg of the triangle is

According to the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where,

a and b = legs

And, the c = hypotenuse.

Now put these values to the above formula

So,

10^2 + b^2 = 37^2

b^2 = 37^2 - 10^2

b^2 = 1269

b = sqrt(1269)

b = 35 .62

Hence, the second leg of the triangle is 35.62

The other leg is 35 mm.

7. A toy car of mass 1.2 kg is driving vertical circles inside a hollow cylinder of radius 2.0m. It is moving at a constant spee

Answer:

$N_{top}=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=33.4N$

b) $v_{min}=4.4m/s$

Explanation:

The net force on the car must produce the centripetal acceleration necessary to make this circle, which is $a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}$ . At the top of the circle, the normal force and the weight point downwards (like the centripetal force should), while at the bottom the normal force points upwards (like the centripetal force should) and the weight downwards, so we have (taking the upwards direction as positive):

$-m\frac{v^2}{R}=-N_{top}-mg\\m\frac{v^2}{R}=N_{bottom}-mg$

Which means:

$N_{top}=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}-(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=m\frac{v^2}{R}+mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}+(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=33.4N$
