Speed:

$v = \frac{500 \,\,\mbox{miles}}{3.7 \,\,\mbox{h}}\approx 135.14 mph$

Velocity:

Velocity os speed with director (an oriented vector):

The velocity is 135.14 mph in the direction east

Rubber is an insulator.

Explanation:

Rubber is an insulator. Electricity will always travel "the path of least resistance." Rubber has a very high resistance, so electricity will go somewhere else to find ground.

A car in an amusement park ride rolls without friction around a track (Fig. P7.42). The hB car starts from rest at point A at a

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$h>\dfrac{5}{2}R$

Explanation:

Given that

Height = h

Radius = R

From energy conservation

$KE_A+U_A=KE_B+U_B$

At point B

The minimum speed to complete the the circle

$V_B=\sqrt{gR}\ m/s$

So the kinetic energy at point B

$KE_B=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2$

$KE_B=\dfrac{1}{2}mgR$

$KE_A+U_A=KE_B+U_B$

$0+mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mgR+2mgR$

Without falling off at the top (point B)

$0+mgh>\dfrac{1}{2}mgR+2mgR$

$mg(h-2R)>\dfrac{1}{2}mgR$

$g(h-2R)>\dfrac{1}{2}gR$

$h>\dfrac{5}{2}R$
