A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.85 m/s2

. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track.

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.836

Explanation:

If v be the speed after one quarter of the circular path

v² = 2as = 2 x 1.85 x 2πr/4 ; v²/r = 1.85 x 3.14 = 5.8

tangential acceleration = 5.8 m/s²

radial acceleration = v² /r = 5.8

total acceleration = √2 x 5.8

m x√2 x 5.8 = m x g xμ

μ = √2 x 5.8 / 9.8 = 0.836

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$

Density $(\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3$

Resistively of copper $(\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m$

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

$V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}$

$lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}$

$lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3$ (1)

We know that,

$\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}$

$\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}$

$\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1}$ (2)

Multiplying equation we have

$l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)$

$l^2 = 2.8286m^2$

$l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}$

$l = 1.68m$

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

An observation which is descriptive is considered

oksano4ka [1.4K]

A descriptive observation may very well be a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative as it can utilize elements of both types. Qualitative deals with the kinds of observations that cannot be measured in numerical form. Quantitative data is just that.

Calculate the equivalent resistance for both circuits. Series circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Parallel circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Which circuit h

goldenfox [79]

Equivalent resistance is also known as the overall resistance.

For resistors in a series circuit, the total resistance is computed using the formula:

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}+ R_{3}... R_{n}$

In other words, you just add up the resistance of each resistor in the series circuit. In your case you only have two resistors. You have 2Ω and 4Ω. So all you need to do is add that up.

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}$
$R_{T} = 2 + 4=6$

The total resistance of the series circuit is 6Ω

In a parallel circuit you get the total resistance using the formula:
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}...+\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

First you get the sum of all fractions and at the end take the reciprocal of the resulting fraction and divide. So let us take your problem into consideration where you have two resistors that have a resistance of 2Ω and 4Ω.

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{3}{4}$

Get the reciprocal of the resulting fraction 3/4 and then divide. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

4/3 = 1. 33Ω

So if you compare the equivalent resistance of the two circuits, the series circuit has a higher equivalent resistance.
