A 1500 kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force

on the car? What causes this force?

The correct answer to the question is : 9375 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the car  m = 1500 Kg.

The diametre of the circular track D = 200 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path R = \frac{D}{2}

                                                                  = \frac{200}{2}\ m

                                                                  = 100 m.

The velocity of the truck v = 25 m/s.

When a body moves in a circular path, the body needs a centripetal force which helps the body stick to the orbit. It acts along the radius and towards the centre.

Hence, the force acting on the car is centripetal force.

The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as -

                              Force F = \frac{mv^2}{R}

                                            =  \frac{1500\times (25)^2}{100}\ N

                                            = 9375 N.           [ANS}        

The centripetal force is provided to the car in two ways. It is the friction which provides the necessary centripetal force. Sometimes friction is not sufficient. At that time, the road is banked to some extent which provides the necessary centripetal force.

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Su
deff fn [24]

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.
valentina_108 [34]

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves
