If a car takes a banked curve at less than a given speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the cu

rve (a real problem on icy mountain roads). (a) Calculate the minimum speed, in meters per second, required to take a 84 m radius curve banked at 16° so that you don't slide inwards, assuming there is no friction. (b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed for a frightened driver to take the same curve at 16 km/h?

Answer:

minimum speed is 15.35 m/s

frictional coefficient is 0.26

Explanation:

given data

radius = 84 m

angle = 16°

speed = 16 km/h = 4.43 m/s

to find out

minimum speed and minimum coefficient

solution

we will apply here formula for velocity that is

velocity² = radius × g × tanθ

v² = 84 × 9.8 × tan16

v² = 236.04

v = 15.35 m/s

and

we find first friction force here

friction force 1 = m v² /r

friction force 1 = m (15.35)² / 84 = 2.80 m

and

friction force 2 = m v² /r

friction force 2 = m (4.43)² / 84 = 0.245 m

so total friction force = f1 - f2

total friction force = 2.80 - 0.245 = 2.55 m

so frictional coefficient = friction force /g

frictional coefficient = 2.55 / 9.8

so frictional coefficient is 0.26

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a

dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}$

Here, $P_{abs}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure and $P_{vac}$ is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

$P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa$

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}$ .

Thus,

$P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa$ .

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2$ .

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2$

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi$ .

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi$

In mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg$

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity= $9.8 m/s^2$

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates= $\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35$

Force by which box accelerates= $62.286 N$

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2$

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide= $1.9796 m/s^2$

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300

Vinvika [58]

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
$\eta = 1- \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}$
where
$T_{cold}$ is the temperature of the cold region
$T_{hot}$ is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have $T_{cold}=300 K$ and $T_{hot}=400 K$ , so the efficiency is
$\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25$

Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it

stich3 [128]

Answer:

a. 6.69m/s

b. y=4.48m

c. t=1.43secs

Explanation:

Data given, acceleration,a=35m/s^2

distance covered,d=64cm=0.64m,

a. to determine the speed, we use the equation of motion

initial velocity,u=0m/s

if we substitute values we arrive at

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\v^{2}=0+2*35*0.64\\v^{2}=44.8m/s\\v=\sqrt{44.8}\\ v=6.69m/s\\$

b. After taking the shot,the acceleration value is due to gravity i.e a=9.81m/s^2

and the distance becomes (y-2.2) above the ground. When it reaches the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero and the initial velocity becomes 6.69m/s.

Hence we can write the equation above again

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\$

if we substitute values we have

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\0=6.69^{2}-2*9.81(y-2.2)\\y-2.2=\frac{44.76}{19.62} \\y=2.28+2.2\\y=4.48m$

c. the time it takes to arrive at 1.83m is obtain by using the equation below

$1.83-2.2=6.69t-\frac{1}{2} *9.81t^{2}\\4.9t^{2}-6.69t-0.37\\using \\t= \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}\\ where \\a=4.9, b=-6.69, c=-0.37$

if we insert the values, we solve for t , hence t=1.43secs
