Answer:

n/(FG) = 3.

Explanation:

<u>At the top of the loop-the-loop, the normal force is directed downwards</u> as well as the weight of the car. So, the total net force of the car is

F_{net} = N + mg

<u>By Newton's Second Law, this force is equal to the centripetal force</u>, because the car is making circular motion in the loop.

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

The critical speed is the minimum speed at which the car does not fall. So, at the critical speed the normal force is zero.

0 + mg = \frac{mv_c^2}{R}\\v_c = \sqrt{gR}

If the car is moving twice the critical speed, then

N + mg = \frac{m(2v_c)^2}{R} = \frac{m4gR}{R} = 4mg\\N = 3mg

Finally, the ratio of the normal force to the gravitational force is

\frac{3mg}{mg} = 3

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the
irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

x=V_{o} cos \theta t (1)

y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (2)

Where:

x is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

V_{o}=23 m/s is the cannonball initial velocity

\theta=0\° since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

t is the time

y=0 is the final height of the cannonball

y_{o}=1.96 m is the initial height of the cannonball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating t from (2):

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}} (3)

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (4)

t=0.63 s (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s (6)

Finally:

x=14.49 m

Kyle has a mass of 54kg and is moving at 3 m/s what is his kinetic energy
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

243J

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 3^2

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 9

K.E = 1/2 x 486

K.E = 486/2

K.E = 243J

A 16.0kg canoe moving to the left at 12.5m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 14.0kg raft moving to the right at 16.0m/
kherson [118]

The canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum, in absence of external forces the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where:

m_1 = 16.0 kg is the mass of the canoe

u_1 = -12.5 m/s is the initial velocity of canoe (we take right as positive direction, and since the canoe is moving to the left, its velocity is negative)

v_1 is the final velocity of the canoe

m_2 = 14.0 kg is the mass of the raft

u_2 = +16.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the raft

v_2 = -14.4 m/s is the final velocity of the raft

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find: the final velocity of the canoe:

v_1 = \frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(16.0)(-12.5)+(14.0)(16.0)-(14.0)(-14.4)}{16.0}=+14.1 m/s

So, the canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.
