rce in a forward direction. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.90. How many revolutions of the track have been made when the car slides out?

Answer:

No. of revolutions before the car slides off is 2

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

Diameter of the track, d = 50 m

Force, F = 525 N

Coefficient of static friction, \mu_{s} = 0.90

Now,

The acceleration in the tangential direction is given by:

F = ma_{T}

525 = 1500\times a_{T}

a_{T} = 0.35\ m/s^{2}

Here, the centripetal force is given by the friction force:

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \mu mg

Thus

v = \sqrt{\mu gR} = \sqrt{0.90\times 9.8\times 25} = 14.849\ m/s

Time taken by the car is given by:

v = v' + at

v' = initial velocity = 0

Thus

t = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{14.849}{0.35} = 42.426\ s

Total Distance covered, d is given by:

v^{2} = v'^{2} + 2ad

14.849^{2} = 0^{2} + 2\times 0.35d

d = 341.99 m

Distance covered in 1 revolution is the circumference of the circle, d' = 2\pi R

Now, the no. of revolutions is given by:

n = \frac{d}{d'} = \frac{314.99}{2\pi \times 25} = 2

To convert centimeters to kilometers, which conversion factors would you need?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The last option is the only correct one if you like to multiply

The second last option is good if you like to divide.

Explanation:

Each fraction in the last two options has a value of 1

example

dividing by 1

15 cm /(100 cm/ 1 m) = 0.15 m          0.15 m / (1000 m/ 1km) = 0.00015 km

and

multiplying by 1

15 cm(1 m / 100cm) = 0.15 m         0.15m(1 km/1000m) = 0.00015 km

only one of the two fractions in each of the top two options has a value of 1.

Nuclear waste disposal is one of the largest issues with nuclear power. Cesium-137 is one of the high level waste products in an
vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

W= F*d= m*g*d

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

 x       ---> 100%

x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\

P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]

(a) An object that has a small mass and an object that has a large mass have the same momentum. Which object has the largest kin
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A) The smaller object; B) The larger object

Explanation:

A) Lets say the small object is 2 kg and the large one is 6 kg. Lets say they also have 30 kg*m/s of momentum each. The small object would have 15 m/s velocity and the large would have 5 m/s.

Now for kinetic energy(.5*m*v²), the small object is .5*2*15², which is 225 J

The large object is .5*6*5², which is 75 J, so the smaller object has more Kinetic energy. Since velocity is squared, it is more important than how large mass is.

B) Same masses as part A. Lets say the kinetic energy is 45 J for both of them. For the small object, 45=.5*2*v²

.5*2 is 1, so 45/1 is 45. Take the square root and we get v= 6.71 m/s

For the large object, 45=.5*6*v²

.5*6 is 3, so 45/3 is 15. Take the square root and we get v=3.87 m/s

Now we plug the velocities into p=mv

For the small object, p=2*6.71, which gives us p=13.42 kg*m/s

For the large object, p=6*3.87, which gives us p=23.22 kg*m/s

The larger object has the larger momentum.

Hope this helps
