A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 240.0 m m . A car rounds the curve at a speed of 26.0 m/s m/s . Part A What

is the minimum coefficient of friction that will prevent sliding? μ min μmin = nothing SubmitRequest Answer Part B Suppose the highway is icy and the coefficient of friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third what you found in part A. What should be the maximum speed of the car so it can round the curve safely?

Answer:

a) u_s=0.375

b )v=14.4 m/s

Explanation:

1 Concepts and Principles

Particle in Equilibrium: If a particle maintains a constant velocity (so that a = 0), which could include a velocity of zero, the forces on the particle balance and Newton's second law reduces to:  

∑F=0                 (1)

2- Particle in Uniform Circular Motion:

If a particle moves in a circle or a circular arc of radius Rat constant speed v, the particle is said to be in uniform circular motion. It then experiences a net centripetal force F and a centripetal acceleration a_c. The magnitude of this force is:

F=ma_c

 =m*v^2/R            (2)

where m is the mass of the particle F and a_c are directed toward the center of curvature of the particle's path.  

<em>3- The magnitude of the static frictional force between a static object and a surface is given by:</em>  

f_s=u_s*n              (3)

where u_s is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface and n is the magnitude of the normal force.  

Given Data

R (radius of the car's path) = 170 m

v (speed of the car) = 25 m/s  

Required Data

- In part (a), we are asked to find the coefficient of static friction u_s that will prevent the car from sliding.  

- In part (b), we are asked to find the speed of the car v if the coefficient of static friction is one-third u_s found in part (a).  

Solution:

see the attachment pic

Since the car is not accelerating vertically, we can model it as a particle in equilibrium in the vertical direction and apply Equation (1)

∑F_y=n-mg

       = mg               (4)  

We model the car as a particle in uniform circular motion in the horizontal direction. The force that enables the car to remain in its circular path is the force of static friction at the point of contact between road and tires. Apply Equation (2) to the horizontal direction:

∑F_x=f_s

       =m*v^2/R

Substitute for f_s from Equation (3):  

u_s=m*v^2/R

Substitute for n from Equation (4):  

u_s*mg=m*v^2/R

  u_s*g = v^2/R

Solve for u_s:

u_s=  v^2/Rg                          (5)

Substitute numerical values:  

u_s=0.375

(b)  

The new coefficient of static friction between the tires and the pavement is:

u_s'=u_s/3

Substitute u_s/3 for u_s in Equation (5):

u_s/3=v^2/Rg  

Solve for v:  

v=14.4 m/s

Addition of _____________ to pure water causes the least increase in conductivity. A) weak bases B) acetic acid C) ionic compoun
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water in itself is a bad conductor of electricity. Any compound that dissociates in water into ions and charged molecules, will increase conductivity of water. In this case ionic compounds weak basis and acids will put in free ions into the water. The ions can pass electricity because they are attracted to respective poles of electricity depending on their charges. In water, these ions are free moving unlike when they are immobilized in their lattice in solid form.

Organic compounds are mainly made of covalent bonds (around carbon) hence do not dissociate in water.

The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is 45.0^\circ45.0 ​∘ ​​ . By how much does the second filter reduce the int
suter [353]

Answer

given,                                                                      

angle between two polarizing filters = 45°

filter reduce intensity = ?                          

a) I = I₀ Cos² θ                                

here θ = 45⁰                                

I = \dfrac{I_0}{2}                      

intensity of the light is reduced by 0.500

correct answer from the given option D

b) direction of the polarization                    

                        θ = 45°

An instrument that measures air pressure using a partially evacuated chamber is called a(n ________ barometer.
Jet001 [13]
The appropriate response is the Aneroid barometer. This kind of gauge has an incompletely cleared chamber that progressions shape, packing as barometrical weight increments and growing as weight declines.

I hope the answer will help you.
