a car with a mass of 1200 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 20 meters per second. the centrip

etal force on the car is 6000 newtons. what is the radius of the curve?

Well, first of all, a car moving around a circular curve is not moving
with uniform velocity.  The direction of motion is part of velocity, and
the direction is constantly changing on a curve.

The centripetal force that keeps an object moving in a circle is

         Force  =  (mass of the object) · (speed)² / (radius of the circle)

         F  =  m s² / r

We want to know the radius, to rearrange the formula to give us
the radius as a function of everything else.

                                          F     =  m s² / r

Multiply each side by 'r':       F· r  =  m · s²

Divide each side by 'F':            r  =  m · s² / F    

We know all the numbers on the right side,
so we can pluggum in:

                      r  =       m       ·        s²      /     F

                      r  =  (1200 kg) · (20 m/s)² / (6000 N) .

I'm pretty sure you can finish it up from here.

1)Kenetic Energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. 2)KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position..

And I hope this helped :)

True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?
slava [35]

The statement is false.  Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion.  (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross
Sav [38]

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2

Our values are:

V=30.1m/s

C_d=0.45

A=3.3m^2

\rho=1.2kg/m^3

Replacing,

F_D=\frac{1}{2}(1.2)(0.45)(3.3)(30.1)^2

F_D=807.25N

We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

W = F_D d

But we know that d is equal to

d=vt

Where

v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

W=(807.25N)(30.1m/s)(3600s/1hr)

W=87.47*10^6J (per hour)

Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

A semi-truck is traveling at 65mph on the freeway and you are traveling in your Ford
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The vehicle with the most mass

Explanation:

Momentum is the quantity of motion in a body and it is dependent on its mass and velocity.

Momentum  = m x v

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Now,

Both mass and velocity are directly proportional to  momentum. Since the two bodies moves with the same velocity, the vehicle with the most mass will have the greatest momentum
