A pick-up truck with two passengers weighs about 14000 N. In good driving conditions around a curve, the maximum friction with t

he road is equal to the truck's weight. What is the minimum safe curve radius that the truck could negotiate at 28.9 m/s

Answer:

85.14 m

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. We can find the truck mass from its weight

m = W/g = 14000 / 9.81 = 1427 kg

So if the maximum friction could be the truck weight, which is F = 14000N, then that would also be the maximum centripetal force it could be. According to Newton 2nd law of motion, the maximum centripetal acceleration the truck can have when traveling at a curve is

a = F / m = 14000 / 1427 = 9.81 m/s2

By applying the following formula we can find the minimum safe radius R of the curve when traveling at speed of 28.9 m/s

a = \frac{v^2}{R}

R = \frac{v^2}{a} = \frac{28.9^2}{9.81} = 85.14 m

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

(1) <span>Electric current is defined as the rate of </span>charge<span> flow past a given point in an electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, also called Amperes. In </span>DC electric circuits<span>, it can be assumed that the </span>resistance<span> to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to </span>voltage<span> and resistance by </span>Ohm's law, which is:
<span>
V = I*R
Where V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

(2) The answer is attached in image form down below(please find attachment)

(4) <span>Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from the natural sources i.e. sun, tides, wind etc. Examples are: Solar Energy, Wind energy( windmill) etc. for electricity generation.
Advantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is available in abundant quantity.
2) It is free to use.
3) It has </span><span>low carbon emissions, therefore it is considered as green and environment friendly.
Disadvantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is not easy to setup plants and machinery for renewable energy.
2) Initial costs for setting up those plants and machinery is quite high.
3) The energy from the natural sources is not available 24/7. In Solar energy case, energy </span><span>can be used during the day time and not during night or rainy season etc.
</span>
Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity. Sources may be <span>fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal etc.
</span><span>Advantages of Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
1) They are easy to use.
2) They are cheap.

Disadvantages:
</span>1) They will expire some day (as they are limited).
2) The speed at which such resources are being used can have serious environmental changes.
3) They release toxic gases in the air when burnt which are the major cause for global warming.
<span>4) Since these sources are going to expire soon, prices of these sources are proliferating day by day.
</span><span>
Now you should judge all by yourself which is the better energy source.
