A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road

that can be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 54.5 m. While on the curve, the speed of the car is 12.4 m/s at the instant the briefcase starts to slide across the backseat toward the side of the car. What force causes the centripetal acceleration of the briefcase when it is stationary relative to the car? Under what condition does the briefcase begin to move relative to the car?

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 14.9 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 107 m from the base
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1) t=1.743 sec

2)Vo=61.388  m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the  initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388  m/sec

4)Vf=17.08 m/s

Explanation:

1)From second equation of motion we get

h=Vit+(1/2)gt^2

here in case(a): Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9m,,put these values in above equation to find the time the ball is in motion

14.9=(0)*t+(1/2)(9.8)t^2

t^2=14.9/4.9

t^2=3.040 sec

t=1.743 sec

2) s=Vo*t

Putting values we get

107=Vo*1.743

Vo=61.388  m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the  initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388  m/sec

4)From third equation of motion we know that

Vf^2-Vi^2=2gh

here Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9 m

Vf^2=Vi^2+2gh=0+2(9.8)(14.9)

Vf^2=292.04

Vf=17.08 m/s

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing
Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

m = m_{1}=m_{2}

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Along X- axis

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}

v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i

v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s

Along Y-axis

0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}

v_{1}=-v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s

Then the final speed of the first ball

v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}

v_{1}=1.95\ m/s

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=-44.16^{\circ}

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m,     \theta = 30^{o}

 Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

                mgh sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

       h = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}

          = \frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}

          = 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.
