Answer:

Maximum speed, v = 9.89 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the curve, r = 50 m

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the roadbed is 0.20, $\mu=0.2$

To find,

The maximum speed with which the car can safely negotiate the unbanked curve.

Solution,

The net force acting on the car is balanced by its centripetal force such that the maximum speed of the car is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}$

$v=\sqrt{0.2\times 50\times 9.8}$

v = 9.89 m/s

So, the maximum speed with which the car can safely negotiate the unbanked curve is 9.89 m/s.

Previous results tell us the speed (v) is given in terms of the coefficient of friction (k) and the radius of the curve (r) as
v = √(kgr)
v = √(0.20·9.8 m/s²·50 m)
= 7√2 m/s ≈ 9.90 m/s

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped = 84m

Displacement = 84m due east

Time = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo = ?

Velocity of kangaroo = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time }$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s due east

When the Earth is closest to the Sun, it is at:

ahrayia [7]

a). Perihelion . . . the point in Earth's orbit that's closest to the Sun.
We pass it every year early in January.

b). Aphelion . . . the point in Earth's orbit that's farthest from the Sun.
We pass it every year early in July.

c). Proxihelion . . . a made-up, meaningless word

d). Equinox . . . the points on the map of the stars where the Sun
appears to be on March 21 and September 21.

An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.90 ✕ 1

motikmotik

Answer:

The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the lighter fragment $M_{l}=2.90\times10^{-28}\ kg$

Mass of the heavier fragment $M_{h}=1.62\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

Speed of lighter fragment = 0.893c

We need to calculate the speed of the heavier fragment

Let v is the speed of the second fragment after decay

Using conservation of relativistic momentum

$0=\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}-\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}$

$\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}=\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}$

$\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{\sqrt{1-(0.893)^2}}=\dfrac{1.62\times10^{-27}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}$

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{1.62\times10^{-27}\times0.45}$

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=0.355c$

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^{2}}{c^2}}=(0.355c)^2$

$\dfrac{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)}$

$\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}-\dfrac{1}{c^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)^2}$

$\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}+\dfrac{1}{0.126c^2}$

$\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}(1+\dfrac{1}{0.126})$

$\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{8.93}{c^2}$

$v_{2}^2=\dfrac{c^2}{8.93}$

$v_{2}=0.335c$

Hence, The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Like the filters falling through the air, a car on the freeway represents an object with a high Reynolds number traveling throug

Goshia [24]

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2$

$C_D$ =Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444$

Percentage Change in the drag force

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100$

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22 %.

What is the downward pull on an object due to gravity?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

force of gravity

Explanation:

The force of gravity is that which draws the bodies towards the surface of the Earth.

The force of gravity brakes the objects that move up and accelerates those that move down. It causes a parabolic movement in what we throw upwards,
