Answer:

Radius=15.773 m

Explanation:

Given data

v=29.5 km/h=8.2 m/s

μs=0.435

To find

Radius R

Solution

The acceleration is a centripetal acceleration  which is experienced by the bicycle given by

a=v^{2}/R

This acceleration is only due to static force which given as

f=ma\\f=m(v^{2}/R )

The maximum value of the static force is given as

Fs_{max}=u_{s}F_{N}

where

FN is normal force equal to mass*gravity

Therefore when the car is on the verge of sliding

f=fs_{max}\\ m(v^{2}/R )=u_{s}mg

Therefore the minimum radius should be found by the bicycle move without  sliding

So

v^{2}/R=u_{s}g\\  R=v^{2}/u_{s}g\\R=(8.2)^{2}/(0.435*9.8)\\R=15.773m

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?
Delvig [45]
With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet
