How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too

1 answer:

5 0

Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
$speed= \frac{distance}{time}$
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
$velocity= displacement/time$
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time.
$acceleration = \frac{change in velocity}{time}$

A 1100 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 16 degrees. If the car is traveling at 95 km/h, will a frictio

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.

Explanation:

Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.

In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.

The net force is equal to $F = \frac{mv^2}{R} = \frac{1100\times (26.3)^2}{68} = 1.1\times 10^4~N$

Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.

This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.

$F = mg\sin(16) = 1100(9.8)\sin(16) = 2.97\times10^3$

As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.

The amount of the friction force should be $8.21\times 10^3~N$

Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.

Answer:

Icy roads

Explanation:

There is so little friction you slide on it way more than other roads. :)

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Known:

R = 10.0 Ω

V = 12.0 V

Unknown:

I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

Describe the forces involved in Throwing a spear

Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

The center of gravity is near the grip and does not change during throw. "Throwing through the tip," a popular term of how to throw a javelin, means throwing through the grip or center of gravity. The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.
