Question
A banked highway is designed for traffic moving at v 8 km/h. The radius of the curve = 330 m. 50% Part (a) Write an equation for the tangent of the highway's angle of banking. Give your equation in terms of the radius of curvature r, the intended speed of the turn v, and the acceleration due to gravity g
Part (b) what is the angle of banking of the highway? Give your answer in degrees
Answer:
a. Equation of Tangent
tan(θ) = v²/rg
b. Angle of the banking highway
θ = 0.087°
Explanation:
Given
Radius of the curve = r = 330m
Acceleration of gravity = g = 9.8m/s²
Velocity = v = 8km/h = 8 * 1000/3600
v = 2.22 m/s
a . Write an equation for the tangent of the highway's angle of banking
The Angle is calculated by
tan(θ) = v²/rg
θ = tan-1(v²/rg)
b.
Part (b) what is the angle of banking of the highway? Give your answer in degrees
θ = tan-1(v²/rg)
Substituting the values of v,g and r
θ = tan-1(2.22²/(330 * 9.8)
θ = tan-1(0.001523933209647)
θ = 0.087314873580116°
θ = 0.087°
there are 28 neutrons present
The free-body diagram is missing, but I assume the only forces acting on the box are the force F pushing the box, the weight of the object and the normal reaction of the surface.
Since the weight and the normal reaction acts in the vertical (y) direction, the only force acting on the box in the horizontal (x) direction is the horizontal component of the force F, which is given by

And so this is the net force in the x-direction.
Answer:
a) t = 2.0 s, b) x_f = - 24.56 m, Δx = 16.56 m
Explanation:
This is an exercise in kinematics, the relationship of position and time is indicated
x = 5 t³ - 9t² -24 t - 8
a) ask when the velocity is zero
speed is defined by
v =
let's perform the derivative
v = 15 t² - 18t - 24
0 = 15 t² - 18t - 24
let's solve the quadratic equation
t =
t1 = -0.8 s
t2 = 2.0 s
the time has to be positive therefore the correct answer is t = 2.0 s
b) the position and distance traveled for a = 0
acceleration is defined by
a = dv / dt
a = 30 t - 18
a = 0
30 t = 18
t = 18/30
t = 0.6 s
we substitute this time in the expression of the position
x = 5 0.6³ - 9 0.6² - 24 0.6 - 8
x = 1.08 - 3.24 - 14.4 - 8
x = -24.56 m
we see that all the movement is in one dimension so the distance traveled is the change in position between t = 0 and t = 0.6 s
the position for t = 0
x₀ = -8 m
the position for t = 0.6 s
x_f = - 24.56 m
the distance
ΔX = x_f - x₀
Δx = | -24.56 -(-8) |
Δx = 16.56 m
