A car travels around a level, circular track that is 750m across. What coefficient of friction is required to ensure the car can

stay on the track at 85mph
Physics

The coefficient of friction must be 0.196

Explanation:

For a car moving on a circular track, the frictional force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the car in circular motion. Therefore, we can write:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the term on the left is the frictional force acting between the tires of the car and the road, while the term on the right is the centripetal force. The various terms are:

\mu is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

In this problem,

r = 750 m is the radius

v=85 mph \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=38.0 m/s is the speed

And solving for \mu, we find the coefficient of friction required to keep the car in circular motion:

\mu = \frac{v^2}{rg}=\frac{38.0^2}{(750)(9.8)}=0.196

2. A 75 kg runner accelerates from 0.00 m/s to 10.0 m/s in 1.5 seconds.
raketka [301]
A :-) A.a.) Given - u = 0.00 m/s
v = 10.0 m/s
t = 1.5 sec
m = 75 kg
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = 10 - 0 by 1.5
a = 10 by 1.5
a = 6.6 m/s^2

An observer in frame S sees lightning simultaneously strike two points 100 m apart. The first strike occurs at xx1 = yy1 = zz1 =
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 0, = -0.33 us

b) 140m

c) No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time, the second even (-0.33 usec) occurs 0.33 usec earlier than the first event.

Explanation:

a)

the lorentz factor expression is written as;

y = 1₀ / √(1 - (v²/c²))

where v  is the relative speed of an observer and c is the speed of light

so we were given that relative speed to be o.7c

therefore

y = 1 / √(1 - ((0.7c)² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - (0.49c² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - 0.49)

y = 1 / 0.7141

y = 1.4

1 - the coordinates  of the first event, the s' frame of reference is,

x1 ' = y(x1 - vt1) = 0

y1 ' = y1, z1' = z1 and

t1 ' = y [t1 - v/c²x1]

= 0

2 - the coordinates of the second event, the s ' frame of reference is'

x2 ' = y(x2-vt2)

= 1.4(100m - 0)

= 140m

y2 ' = y2, z2 ' = z2

t2 ' = y [ t2 - v/c²x2 ]

= 1.4 [ 0 - 0.7c/c²(100) ]

using speed of light c as 3*10^8

1.4 [ 0 - (0.7*3*10^8) / (3*10^8)²(100) ]

= -0.33 us

b)

distance between

delltaX' = X2' - X1'

= 140m - 0

= 140m

c)

No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time.

the second even (-0.33 us) occurs 0.33 us earlier than the first event.

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.
