When a car travels around a curve in the road , what supplies the centripetal force needed ?

1 answer:

6 0

The centrifugal force working against the car would be the entire car's weight, so the centripetal force that is supplied to the car must be the car's tires traction, aka the friction of the car's tires and the surface.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele

artcher [175]

Answer:

the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J), The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)

Substituting these values into equation 2

v² = 0² +2×1×30

v² = 60

v = √60

v = 7.75 m/s

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1,

W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²

W = (4.0×10³)(60)

W = 240 × 10³ J

W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant

Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to which the body may safe.

What are the two types of electrical circuits

uysha [10]

Series Circuit
A series circuit there is only one path for the electrons to flow (see image of series circuit). The main disadvantage of a series circuit is that if there is a break in the circuit the entire circuit is open and no current will flow. An example of a series would the the lights on many inexpensive Christmas trees. If one light goes out all of them will.

Parallel Circuit
In a parallel circuit the different parts of the electric circuit are on several different branches. There are several different paths that electrons can flow. If there is a break in one branch of the circuit electrons can still flow in other branches (see image of parallel circuit). Your home is wired in a parallel circuit so if one light bulb goes out the other will stay on.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU MATE!!
I HAVE ALSO GIVEN THE EXPLANATION THINKING THAT IT MIGHT HELP YOU.
THANK YOU.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where:

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at time t

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

$v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s$

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

$v_x = 5 m/s$
