Answer:
v= 14.85 m/s
Explanation:
- When at the bottom of the dip, the only force that keeps the car in the circular trajectory, is the centripetal force.
- This force is not a new force, is just the net force aiming to the center of the circle.
- In this case, is just the difference between the normal force (always perpendicular to the surface, pointing upward) and the force that gravity exerts on the car (which is known as the weight), pointing downward.
- So, we can write the following expression:
- It can be showed that the centripetal force is related to the speed by the following expression:
- The normal force, it is called the apparent weight, because it would be the weight as measured by a scale.
- Replacing (2) in (1), and solving for Fn, we get:
- Now, we need to find the value of v that makes Fn, exactly 15% more than the weight m*g, so we can write the following equation:
- Replacing Fg by its value, simplifying, and solving for v, we get:
By equation of motion :
Now, it is given that it stops after 5 seconds of motion and time at that point is 12:00.
So, time when it started is 11 : 59 : 55.
Therefore, distance travelled is 10 m.
Hence, this is the required solution.
