A 600-kg car traveling at 30.0 m/s is going around a curve having a radius of 120 m that is banked at an angle of 25.0°. The coe

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1593.4N

Explanation:

The sum of the horizontal components of the friction and the normal force will be equal to the centripetal force on the car. This can be represented as

fcostheta + Nsintheta = mv^2/r

Where F = force of friction

Theta = angle of banking

N = normal force

m = mass of car

v = velocity of car

r = radius of curve

The car has no motion in the vertical direction so the sum of forces = 0

The vertical component of the normal force acts upwards whereas the weight of the car and the vertical component friction acts downwards.

Taking the upward direction to be positive,rewrite the equation above to get:

Ncos thetha = mg - fsintheta =0

Ncistheta = mg + fain theta

N = mg/cos theta + sintheta/ costheta

fcostheta +[mg/costheta + ftan theta] sin theta = mv^2/r

Substituting gives:

f = (1/(costheta + tanthetasintheta) + mgtantheta = mv^2/r - mgtantheta)

Substituting given values into the above equation

f = 1/(cos25 + tan 25 )(sin25)[ 600×30/120 - (600×9.81)tan

f = 1593.4N25

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by

Answer:

Angle: $48.19^o$

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

$v_b\ cos\alpha$
