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

By how much does the gravitational potential energy of a 54-kg pole vaulter change if her center of mass rises about 4.0 m durin
kodGreya [7K]
<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

What happens to the density of a fluid as the substance gains thernal energy
Natalka [10]

Density reduces

Explanation:

The density of a fluid will reduce as a substance gains more thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy usually noticed as temperature differences in a matter.

  • When thermal energy is gained by a body, the temperature of the body rises.
  • The particles of the medium gains more kinetic energy.
  • This causes the substance to expand and it has more volume.
  • When a substance expands, it occupies more space.
  • The more the volume a body occupies, the lesser the density.
  • Expansion does not change the mass of the fluid but the volume changes.
  • This is why density decreases.
