The force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Explanation:

The force required to stop the car should have equal magnitude as the force required to move the car but in opposite direction. This is in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion. Since, in the present problem, we know the kinetic energy and velocity of the moving car, we can determine the mass of the car from these two parameters.

So, here v = 30 m/s and k.E. = 3.6 × 10⁵ J, then mass will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}  \\\\m = \frac{2*KE}{v^{2} } = \frac{2*3.6*10^{5} }{30*30}=800 kg

Now, we know that the work done by the brake to stop the car will be equal to the product of force to stop the car with the distance travelled by the car on applying the brake.Here it is said that the car travels 95 m after the brake has been applied. So with the help of work energy theorem,

Work done = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Work done = Force × Displacement

So, Force × Displacement = Final kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy.

Force * 95 = 0-3.6*10^{5}\\ \\Force =\frac{-3.6*10^{5} }{95}=-3.79 N

Thus, the force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new
Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25

A child of mass 40.0 kg is in a roller coaster car that travels in a loop of radius 7.00 m. at point a the speed of the car is 1
pav-90 [236]
I attached the missing picture.
The force of seat acting on the child is a reaction the force of child pressing down on the seat. This is the third Newton's law. The force of a child pressing down the seat and the force of the seat pushing up on the child are the same.
There two forces acting on the child. The first one is the gravitational force and the second one is centrifugal force. In this example, the force of gravity is always pulling down, but centrifugal force always acts away from the center of circular motion.
Part A
For point A we have:
F_a=F_cf-F_g
In this case, the forces are aligned, centrifugal is pointing up and gravitational is pulling down.
F_a=m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg=179 $N
Part B
At the point, B situation is a bit more complicated. In this case force of gravity and centrifugal force are not aligned. We have to look at y components of this forces, y-axis, in this case, is just pointing upward.
F=F_{cf}\cos(30)-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\cos(30)-mg=153.2$N
Part C
The child will stay in place at point A when centrifugal force and force of gravity are in balance:
F_g=F_{cf}\\
mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\
gr=v^2\\
v=\sqrt{gr}=8.29\frac{m}{s}
