Answer:

29.131 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces: weight force mg pulling down, normal force N pushing perpendicular to the road, and friction force Nμ pushing parallel to the road downwards.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ + Nμ cos θ = m v² / r

N (sin θ + μ cos θ) = m v² / r

Sum of forces in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − Nμ sin θ − mg = 0

N (cos θ − μ sin θ) = mg

N = mg / (cos θ − μ sin θ)

Substituting:

mg (sin θ + μ cos θ) / (cos θ − μ sin θ) = m v² / r

g (sin θ + μ cos θ) / (cos θ − μ sin θ) = v² / r

v² = gr (sin θ + μ cos θ) / (cos θ − μ sin θ)

Plugging in values:

v² = (9.8 m/s²) (39 m) (sin 30° + 0.72 cos 30°) / (cos 30° − 0.72 sin 30°)

v = 29.131 m/s

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

PLEASE HELPPP :))<br> why do ocean ridges rise above the surrounding ocean floor?
o-na [289]
At the ridge, new crust forms by igneous intrusion and extrusion. Since hot rocks are in a more expanded state and then contract as they cool (as they spread away from the ridge), the midocean ridges stand up high above the surrounding seafloor. The seafloor depth increases with distance away from the midocean ridges.
