We will look at an example of a banked curve. In this case the normal force provides the needed radial acceleration. This allows

the vehicle to negotiate the curve without having to rely solely on friction. An engineer proposes to rebuild the curve, banking it so that, at a certain speed v, no friction at all is needed for the car to make the curve. At what angle β should the curve be banked if v = 25 m/s, (56 mi/h) and R=250m?

Answer:

The bank angle \beta\\ = 14.30 degrees

Explanation:

In engineering, banking a curve reduces the centripetal force on the cars as they turn round the bend. this helps prevent them from sliding off the road.

The bank angle can be calculated using the formula:

tan \beta =\frac{v^{2}}{gR}

where v = velocity of the car = 25 m/s

R = radius of the bank = 250 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

tan \beta =\frac{25^{2}}{9.81 \times 250}

tan\beta =0.25484

\beta = tan^{-1} (0.25484)= 14.30 degrees

There fore, the bank angle is approximately 14 degrees

What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 446 nm?
Maslowich
When I went through with the math, the answer I came upon was: 
<span>6.67 X 10^14 </span>

<span>Here is how I did it: First of all we need to know the equation. </span>

<span>c=nu X lamda </span>
<span>(speed of light) = (frequency)(wavelength) </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(450nm) </span>

<span>We want the answer in meters so we need to convert 450nm to meters. </span>
<span>450nm= 4.5 X 10^ -7 m </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(4.5 X 10^ -7 m) </span>

<span>Divide the speed of light by the wavelength. </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8m/s) / (4.5 X 10^ -7m) =6.67 X 10^ 14 per second or s- </span>

<span>Answer: 6.67 X 10^14 s- hope this helps</span>

Drawing a shows a displacement vector (450.0 m along the y axis). In this x, y coordinate system the scalar components are Ax 0
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x ’= 368.61 m,  y ’= 258.11 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must find the projections of the point on the new vectors of the rotated system  θ = 35º

            x’= R cos 35

            y’= R sin 35

           

The modulus vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

            R² = x² + y²

            R = 450 m

we calculate

            x ’= 450 cos 35

            x ’= 368.61 m

            y ’= 450 sin 35

            y ’= 258.11 m

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
