The driver of a car moving at 90.0 km/h presses down on the brake as the car enters a circular curve of radius 195.0 m. If the s

peed of the car is decreasing at a rate of 4.0 km/h each second, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car (in m/s2) at the instant its speed is 58.0 km/h?

Answer:

Approximately \rm 1.73 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

The acceleration on the car comes in two parts:

  • The acceleration is due to the brakes is tangential to the circular curve.
  • The acceleration due to the circular motion of the car is centripetal. It points towards the center of the circle.

These two accelerations are perpendicular to each other.

Convert the current velocity to meters-per-second (\rm m \cdot s^{-1}.)

\begin{aligned} v &= 58.0\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1} \\ &= \left(58.0\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1}\left/\frac{3600\; \rm s}{1\; \rm h}\right.\right) \times \frac{1000\; \rm m}{1 \; \rm km} \\ &= \frac{58.0}{3600} \times 1000 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \\ & \approx 16.1\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Convert the acceleration due to braking to meters-per-second-squared (\rm m \cdot s^{-2}.)

\begin{aligned}a_{\text{tangential}} &= 4.0\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1} \cdot s^{-1} \\ &= \left(4.0\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1} \cdot s^{-1}\left/\frac{3600\; \rm s}{1\; \rm h}\right.\right) \times \frac{1000\; \rm m}{1 \; \rm km} \\ &= \frac{4.0}{3600} \times 1000 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \cdot s^{-1} \\ & \approx 1.111111\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}.

Calculate the acceleration due to the circular motion:

\begin{aligned} a_\text{centripetal} &= \frac{v^2}{r} \\ &= \frac{\left(16.1\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2}{195.0\; \rm m} \\ & \approx 1.33112\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Since the two accelerations are perpendicular to each other, the resultant acceleration can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem

\begin{aligned}a &= \sqrt{\left(a_\text{tangential}\right)^2 + \left(a_\text{centripetal}\right)^2} \\ &\approx \sqrt{1.111111^2 + 1.33112^2} \\ &\approx 1.73\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

The rotating loop in an AC generator is a square l on each side. It is rotated at frequency f in a uniform field of B. The gener
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Area of square loop = L²

Flux Φ = area x magnetic field

= L²B

Frequency = f

angular velocity ω = 2πf

a )

Let at time t = 0 , the magnetic field is making 90 degree with the face of the loop

flux through loop = L²B

After time t , coil will turn by angle ω t = 2πft

Flux through the loop = L²B cosω t

Φ (t) = L²B cosω t

= L²B cos2πft

b )

emf induced e

= - d/dt [Φ (t)]

= - d/dt [ L²B cosω t]

= L²B ω sinω t

= L²B 2πf sin2πft

c )

current = e / R

(L²B ω/ R ) sinω t

Power delivered

P(t) = VI ,

VOLT X CURRENT

= AB ω sinω t X ( AB ω/ R ) sinω t

= L⁴B² 4π²f²/R sin²2πft

e )

torque = MB sinω t

τ(t) = i(L²B ) sinω t

= (L²B ω/ R ) sinω t x (L²B ) sinω t

= (L²B  )²ω/ R sin²ω t

= (L²B  )² 2πf/ R sin²2πft

10. Convert the following:<br> a. 37.4 mL into ML<br> b. 689 km/hr into m/s<br> c. 34.5 m² into mm²
Snezhnost [94]

A. When we convert 37.4 mL to ML, the result obtained is 3.74×10¯⁸ ML

B. When we convert 689 km/hr to m/s, the result obtained is 191.39 m/s

C. When we convert 34.5 m² to mm², the result obtained is 3.45×10⁷ mm²

<h3>A. How to convert millimeters (mL) to megaliter (ML)</h3>
  • Volume (mL) = 37.4 mL
  • Volume (ML) =?

1 mL = 1×10¯⁹ ML

Therefore,

37.4 mL = 37.4 × 1×10¯⁹

37.4 mL = 3.74×10¯⁸ ML

Thus, 37.4 mLis equivalent to 3.74×10¯⁸ ML

<h3>B. How to convert 689 km/hr to m/s</h3>

Conversion scale

3.6 Km/hr = 1 m/s

Therefore,

689 km/hr = 689 / 3.6

689 km/hr = 191.39 m/s

Thus, 689 km/hr is equivalent to 191.39 m/s

<h3>C. How to convert 34.5 m² to mm²</h3>

Conversion scale

1 m² = 1×10⁶ mm²

Therefore,

34.5 m² = 34.5 × 1×10⁶

34.5 m² = 3.45×10⁷ mm²

Thus, 34.5 m² is equivalent to 3.45×10⁷ mm²

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. We replace one of the objects with an
Alona [7]

Answer:

F'= 4F/9

Explanation:

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If r is the distance between them, then the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2} ...(1)

Now, if one of the objects with another whose net charge is + 4Q is replaced and also the distance between +Q and +4Q charges is increased 3 times as far apart as they were. New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kQ\times 4Q}{(3r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}.....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}}{\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}\times \dfrac{9r^2}{4kQ^2}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4F}{9}

Hence, the correct option is (d) i.e. " 4F/9"

Which of the following has the largest momentum?
san4es73 [151]

Momentum = mass x velocity

Thus Option A is the correct answer

Momentum (dog)  = 10 kg x (0.447 x 30) m/s

= 134.1 Kg m/s

Momentum ( bullet)  = 0.02 kg x (0.447 x 800) m/s

= 7.152 Kg m/s

Momentum ( truck) = 0, as v = 0

tightrope has both low mass  and low speed, thus its momentum will be low
