Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

f=\mu N

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, N=mg. So,

f=\mu mg

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

abody starts from rest and accelerate uniformly at 8m/s/s.calculate the distance travelled by the body in 10s? ​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

using the formula: S=ut+½gt², where u=0, S=?, g=8m/s², t=10seconds.

S=ut+½gt² ("ut" term will cancel because u=0).

=> S= ½gt²

=>S = ½×8×10²

=>S = 4×100

=>S = 400m .

Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in 10s is 400m.

hope this helps you.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a speed of 26 m/s and a frequency of 49? ? Show your work
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Wave speed = Wavelength x Frequency

26 m/s = Wavelength x 49

Divide by 49 to find the wavelength:

The wavelength is approximately 0.53
