Base your answer to the question on the information below.A go-cart travels around a flat, horizontal, circular track with a rad
1 answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Radius of the circular track, r = 25 m
Mass of the go cart with the rider, m = 200 kg
The magnitude of the maximum centripetal force exerted by the track on the go-cart is 1200 N.
The centripetal force exerted by the track o the go cart is given by :
v is the maximum speed at which the go-cart could travel without sliding off this track.
The maximum speed is directly proportional to the force and radius of track. On increasing force and radius and decreasing the mass would increase maximum speed. It is given by :
v = 12.24 m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.

The motion of the rock is a free fall, with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground, so the total distance it covers is given by the SUVAT equation:
where S is the height of the house, and t is the time the rock takes to reach the ground. Substituting t=1.67 s, we find:
2) 105.5 m
The motion of the stuffed chicken is a projectile motion, with a uniform horizontal motion (with constant velocity of v=36.0 m/s) and a vertical accelerated motion (with constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2).
First of all, we can find the total time of the ball by considering the vertical motion only. We know the vertical distance covered, S=42.2 m, so the time of the fall is
And now we can consider the horizontal motion to find the horizontal distance covered by the stuffed chicken:
3) 49.4 m
Again, the motion of the ball is a projectile motion, with a horizontal motion and a vertical motion.
The range of a projectile launched from the ground can be found by using the formula:
where, in this case:
v = 22.0 m/s is the initial velocity
Substituting into the formula, we find
4) 9.6 m/s^2
The frictional force acting on the monkey is given by:
where is the coefficient of friction and m is the mass of the monkey.
We have two forces acting on the monkey: the push of F=345 N and the frictional force acting in the opposite direction. According to Newton's second law, the net force will be equal to the product between the monkey's mass and its acceleration, so we can find the acceleration:
5) 462.3 N
The horizontal component of the pushing force is:
The frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, is
where is the coefficient of friction and m is the mass of the box.
The net force on the box is therefore given by the net force on the horizontal direction:
6) 89.5 N
First of all we need to calculate the total weight of the table and the items above it.
The weight of the table is:
So the total weight of the table and the items is
The force needed to get the table moving must be at least equal to the frictional force, which is equal to the product between the coefficient of friction and the weight of the all stuff:
