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>

Equation of orbit under central force​
SOVA2 [1]

I found this on arxsiv.org: “The central force motion between two bodies about their center of mass can be reduced to an equivalent one body problem in terms of their reduced mass m and their relative radial distance r. ... The potential V (r) from which this force is derived is also a function of r alone, F = −VV, V ≡ V (r).”

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

x = L - L_o

x = 31 - 12 = 19 m

so we have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)

k = 104.46 N/m

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
kramer

Answer:

12552 J or 3000 calories

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat energy (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

For 50mL of water, there are 50g, hence, m = 50g, c = 4.184 J/g°C, initial temperature = 0°C, final temperature = 60°C.

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 50 × 4.184 × (60 - 0)

Q = 209.2 × 60

Q = 12552 J

Hence, the amount of heat energy used to heat the water is 12552 J or 3000 calories
