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>

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> give me examples
klasskru [66]

Answer:

They don’t ‘represent’ anything, they are properties of the wave.

Depending on the type of wave, we experience them as various phenomena. For example, with a sound wave we experience frequency (or wavelength, which is just another way to describe the same property) as the pitch of the sound. We experience amplitude as the loudness of the sound, although due to the characteristics of the ear, frequency also effects perceived loudness.

If the wave is a light wave, we experience the frequency (wavelength) as the colour of the light, and the amplitude as the brightness of the light.

For many waves, we don’t perceive them at all (e.g. radio waves).

For ocean waves, frequency is the time for each peak or trough to reach us, and amplitude is how tall the wave is.

The magnetic field at the equator points north. if you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec
asambeis [7]
Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B          *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

PLS HELP ME OUT!!
MaRussiya [10]
In order to solve this problem, we must first find out the value of each line on the number line. However, we can make this problem more simple by ignoring every interval except for the ones between 0 and 6. There are three total intervals in between 0 and 6 (including 6 and excluding 0). Therefore, we can do 6/2, and get an interval value of 2. This means that each line adds a value of 2. Since the car is only one line past zero, we only have to add one value of 2. Since 0 + 2 = 2, our final answer is C. 2.

Hope this helps!
