A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1080 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill

of radius 16 m, its speed is not changing. (a) At the top of the hill, what is the normal force (using the negative sign for the downward direction) FN on the car from the track if the car's speed is v = 7.6 m/s? (b) What is FN if v = 17 m/s? Use g=9.81 m/s^2.

Answer:

(a): The normal force on the car  from the track when the car's speed is v= 7.6 m/s  is  FN= -6696 N.

(b): The normal force on the car from the track when the car's speed is v= 17 m/s is FN= 8912.7 N.

Explanation:

m= 1080 kg

r= 16m

v1= 7.6 m/s

v2= 17 m/s

g= 9.81 m/s²

v1= w1*r

w1= v1/r

w1= 0.475 rad/s

ac1= w1² * r

ac1= 3.61 m/s²

FN= m * (ac1 - g)

FN= -6696 N    (a)

-----------------------------------------------------

v2= w2*r

w2= v2/r

w2= 1.06 rad/s

ac2= w2² * r

ac2= 18.06 m/s²

FN= m * (ac2 - g)

FN= 8912.7 N    (b)

A sailboat weighing 980 lb with its occupants is running downwind at 8 mi/h when its spinnaker is raised to increase its speed.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

78.498N

Explanation:

The Net force provided by the spinnaker can be obtained from Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}................(1)

where m is the mass, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time interval for which the force acted.

Given;

m =980lb

v = 12mi/h

u =8mi/hr

t = 10s.

It is important to convert all quantities to their SI units where necessary, so we do that as follows;

1lb = 0.45kg,

hence 980lb = 980 x 0.45kg = 441kg.

1mile = 1609.34m

1hour = 3600s,

therefore;

8mi/h=\frac{8*1609.34m}{3600s}=3.58m/s

12mi/h=\frac{12*1609.34m}{3600s}=5.36m/s

Substituting all values into equation (1), we obtain the following;

F=\frac{441(5.36-3.58)}{10}\\F=\frac{441*1.78}{10}\\F=\frac{784.98}{10}\\F=78.498N

Physical properties used to measure stars include
V125BC [204]
The answer is D. Mass, brightness and size are used to measure the physical properties of the stars. One is the brightness it is a combination of the intrinsic brightness of a star. Second is the  size is calculated using the Stephan's Law. And the third is the mass, astronomers use the Stellar mass to describe the mass of the stars.

A piece of a metal alloy with a mass of 114 g was placed into a graduated cylinder that contained 25.0 mL of water, raising the
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

6.51 g/c.c

Explanation:

mass, m = 114 g

initial volume, V1 = 25 mL

final volume, V2 = 42.5 mL

Volume of the metal piece, V = V2 - V1 = 42.5 - 25 = 17.5 mL

1 mL = 1 c.c

So, Volume of metal, V = 17.5 c.c.

Let the density of the metal is d.

density = mass / volume

d = 114 / 17.5 = 6.51 g/c.c

Thus, the density of metal is 6.51 g/c.c.
