Answer:

v = 24.2m/s

Explanation:

Given R = 30m

The two forces acting on you while on the roller coaster ride are the normal force and your weight.

By Newton's second law

N – W = mv²/R

For you to feel 3 time as heavy, the normal force of the seat of the roller coaster on you must be 3 times your weight. That is

N = 3×W = 3×mg

W = mg

3mg – mg = mv²/R

2mg = mv²/R

2g = v²/R

v² = 2gR

v = √2gR

v = √(2×9.8×30)

v = 24.2m/s

Answer:

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2

Your mass = m

You feel three times as heavy at the top of the loop.

Normal force on you = N = 3mg

Radius of the loop = R

Speed of the cart = V

Centripetal force required for the circular motion = Fc

F = m

The centripetal force is provided by the normal force on you which is directed downwards and your own weight which is directed downwards.

Fc = mg + N

Fc = mg + 3mg

Fc = 4mg

m12 -= 4mg R

V = 4gR

V = 4(9.81)(30)

V = 34.3 m/s

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

A certain car's drive-train produces a force of 5300 N as it accelerates from 0
lakkis [162]

The power is 7.1\cdot 10^4 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the acceleration of the car, which is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 10.0 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{26.8-0}{10.0}=2.68 m/s^2

Now we can find the mass of the car by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F = 5300 N is the force applied

m is the mass

a=2.68 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for m,

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{5300}{2.68}=1978 kg

Now we can use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car, to find the work:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

And substituting,

W=\frac{1}{2}(1978)(26.8)^2-0=7.10\cdot 10^5 J

Finally, we can find the power output of the car:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work

t = 10.0 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{7.1\cdot 10^5}{10.0}=7.1\cdot 10^4 W

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.
