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

Which way will the people on the right move? Why? Plz answer
Scrat [10]
Probably to the right because the force on the left is greater and will therefore overpower the 2N force and push to the right

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi? Ans
Reil [10]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

What is the difference between a physical quantity and a unit​
Shalnov [3]

Answer: What is the difference of physical quanity and a unit?

Explanation: If you are working science or math problems, the answer to this question is that quantity is the amount or numerical value, while the unit is the measurement. For example, if a sample contains 453 grams, the quantity is 453 while the unit is grams.

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.
