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>

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

d = vt = \omega r\times  t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

                   x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

                   x = A sin θ

           θ is the phase angle

      θ = π t + π/3

at   t = 2 s

      \theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}

      \theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad
