A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just

on the verge of skidding to the outside of the curve. A front view of a car driving on a banked curve. The cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car. Which forces are directly responsible for producing the car’s centripetal acceleration? Coriolis force centripetal force frictional force normal force gravitational force

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.

An object is moving forward with a constant velocity. Which statement about this object MUST be true?
Greeley [361]

If the object's <em>velocity is constant</em> ... (it's speed isn't changing AND it's moving in a straight line) ... then the net force on the object is zero.<em> (D)</em>

Either there are no forces at all acting on the object, OR there are forces on it but they're 'balanced' ... when you add up all of their sizes and directions, they just exactly cancel each other out, and they have the SAME EFFECT on the object as if there were no forces at all.

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
