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>

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: 37.5 km

Explanation:

The question is that

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover ?

Where

Speed = 15 km/ hr

Time = 2.5 hours

Using the formula for speed.

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time into the formula

15 = distance/ 2.5

Make distance the subject of formula by cross multiplying.

Distance = 15 × 2.5

Distance = 37.5 km.

If you are in motion can you have the same speed as someone else in motion but different velocities? Give an example
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has size and direction, as opposed to speed, a scalar quantity which only has size.

An example is speed may be 30km/h, and an example of velocity is 30km/h East.

Therefore two people can have the same speed and different velocities because they can be traveling in different directions.

For example, you and your friend could be doing shuttles together but you started at one wall and they started at the other, so even though you are running at the same speed, you always have different velocities because they are running in the opposite direction as you.

Hope this helped!

PLS HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST ANSWER
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:Earth is a truly unique in its abundance of water. Water is necessary to sustaining life on Earth, and helps tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated system. Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle - a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds. This cycling of water is intimately linked with energy exchanges among the atmosphere, ocean, and land that determine the Earth's climate and cause much of natural climate variability. The impacts of climate change and variability on the quality of human life occur primarily through changes in the water cycle. As stated in the National Research Council's report on Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1999): "Water is at the heart of both the causes and effects of climate change."

Hope this is helpfull
