White is a hotter color so it burns faster. :)

A 975-kg sports car (including driver) crosses the rounded top of a hill at determine (a) the normal force exerted by the road o

iVinArrow [24]

There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill: $v=15 m/s$
- radius of the hill: $r=100 m$

Solution:

(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car $W=mg$ (downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force, $m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , so we can write:
$mg-N=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ (1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
$N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(975 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(975 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=7371 N$

(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
$N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(62 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=469 N$

(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
$mg=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
from which we find
$v= \sqrt{gr}= \sqrt{(9.81 m/s^2)(100 m)}=31.3 m/s$

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.

NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is (45 cm) / (3 sec) = 15 cm/sec.

When does a driver have to stop for a school bus

Tcecarenko [31]

A driver have to stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing and there is no barrier between his/her vehicle and the bus.

<h3>What are traffic rules?</h3>

Traffic rules are rules that are expected to follow by the road users for the safety of everyone using the road.

For instance, when the red lights are flashing , it simply means to stop, while the green light means that the vehicle can continue to move, and yellow light means to be at alert to move.
