Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly h

ump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1 800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 18.8 m.
a. If the car travels at 33.0 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump?
b. What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point?

:<span>  </span><span>30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s 

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg) 

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road .. 

Fn = mg - mv²/R 
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards) 
(b) 
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero. 

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)² 

►v = √198 = 14.0 m/s</span>

In which situation is the maximum possible work done?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Answer is A.

Explanation:

Remember the equation for work:

W = F d cos θ

Math explanation: When θ = 0, cos θ = 1, so Fd is a maximum. For any other value of θ up to 90 degrees, cos θ < 1 so Fd will be smaller. For θ = 180, you're pushing away from the direction of displacement so you're actually doing negative work.

Intuitive explanation: you have the most success pushing an object when you apply the force directly against it compared to if the force was directed at an angle.

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.

A spring with spring constant 15.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is suspended from the spring and allowed to come to rest.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

A) 138.8g

B)73.97 cm/s

Explanation:

K = 15.5 Kn/m

A = 7 cm

N = 37 oscillations

tn = 20 seconds

A) In harmonic motion, we know that;

ω² = k/m and m = k/ω²

Also, angular frequency (ω) = 2π/T

Now, T is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.

So from the question, we can calculate T as;

T = 22/37.

Thus ;

ω = 2π/(22/37) = 10.5672

So,mass of ball (m) = k/ω² = 15.5/10.5672² = 0.1388kg or 138.8g

B) In simple harmonic motion, velocity is given as;

v(t) = vmax Sin (ωt + Φ)

It is from the derivative of;

v(t) = -Aω Sin (ωt + Φ)

So comparing the two equations of v(t), we can see that ;

vmax = Aω

Vmax = 7 x 10.5672 = 73.97 cm/s
