A car moving at a steady 10 m/s on a level highway encounters a bump that has a circular cross-section with a radius of 30 m. Th

e car maintains its speed over the bump. What is the normal force exerted by the seat of the car on a 60.0-kg passenger when the car is at the top of the bump?

When you are driving over a circular bump, you can feel your body moving up a small distance in the seat. This make you feel like you weigh less that you really do. This is caused by the fact that net down force on you is equal to the centripetal force. If you go the following website, you will see a problem that is similar to this one. Go the problem called Sample Roller Coaster Problem.

At this website you can see that the normal force exerted by the seat of the car on a 60.0-kg passenger is equal to the difference of the passenger’s weight and the centripetal force.

Weight = 60 * 9.8 = 588 N

Fc = 60 * 10^2/30 = 200 N

Normal force = 388 N

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{B}

     Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

   0.5*k*x²= mg(h_{B}-h_{A} )=mgh

   0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

         k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

                                 k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

                                    k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{C}

    spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

   0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m*V_{max}^{2}

      10812.88 *2.3²=430*V_{max}^{2}

           V_{max}=11.53 m/s

A 30 cm scale has one end broken. The mark at the broken end is 2.6 cm. How would you use it to measure the length of your penci
lidiya [134]

Answer:

the mark of the broken end is 2.6 cm so, we use the scale from the next full mark i.e. 3cm

Explanation:

<em>we </em><em>now </em><em>measure</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>length</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>keeping </em><em>the </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>mark </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>scale</em><em> </em><em>at </em><em>it's</em><em> </em><em>left </em><em>end.</em>

<em>The </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>cm </em><em>value </em><em>is </em><em>then </em><em>subtracted</em><em> </em><em>from </em><em>the </em><em>scale</em><em> </em><em>reading</em><em> </em><em>at </em><em>the </em><em>right</em><em> </em><em>side </em><em>end </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>obtain </em><em>the </em><em>correct</em><em> </em><em>length</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil.</em><em> </em><em>✏️</em>

<em>(</em><em>i </em><em>i </em><em>)</em><em> </em>place the scale in the contact with object along it's length

(2) Your eyes must be exactly in front of the point where the measurements to be taken.

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

What provides most of the force to allow the runners to move?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

When you are running the most important force that you should understand is friction. Friction is a force that opposes movement between two objects, but for runners friction makes you faster. Friction gives you a better and more efficient way to use your energy into speed.

What if energy, like electricity, could not be converted to other forms like sound, heat, motion, or light?
EleoNora [17]

Answer: It wouldn't be as modern as today is we would be back to using oil and other things from back then there wouldn't be cars everything would be less machined.
