Answer:

N = mg + \frac{mv^2}{R}

Explanation:

At the bottom of the loop, the normal force is opposite to my weight.

I am making a circular motion. So,

F_{net} = \frac{mv^2}{R}

The relationship between the normal force, my weight, my speed and the radius of the loop is

N - mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg = N - \frac{mv^2}{R}\\ N = mg + \frac{mv^2}{R}

Here, my weight (mg) is constant. But the normal force is inversely proportional to my speed.

If my speed is zero, the normal force would be maximum and equal to my weight. If my speed is to much, then the normal force would be equally high too.

What kind of eruption is likely to occur in a volcano having magma that is low in silica
Masja [62]
A volcano erupts quietly if it's magma is low on silica. Low silica magma will be very thin, runny, and will flow easily, so the gases in the magma will bubble out gently. Hope this helps!:)

A ball of gas becomes a ____ when nuclear fusion begins in its core.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The answer to this is Protostar.

This is a process where it is gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud. Its a very young star meaning, the star was now born. 

Hope this helped :)

Kim throws a beach ball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 0.50s later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the bea
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is <u>4.9 m/s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is, t=0.50\ s

We know that, velocity of an object at the highest point is always zero. So, final velocity of the ball is, v=0\ m/s

Also, acceleration acting on the ball is always due to gravity. So, acceleration of the ball is, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2

The negative sign is used as acceleration is a vector and it acts in the downward direction.

Now, we have the equation of motion relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time given as:

v=u+at

Where, 'u' is the initial velocity.

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=u-9.8(0.5)\\u=9.8\times 0.5\\u=4.9\ m/s

Therefore, the beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s
