A car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley as shown below. Both the hill and valley have a radius of

curvature R. At which point, A, B, or C, is the normal force acting on the car (i) the largest, (ii) smallest? Explain. (iii) Where would the driver feel heaviest and (iv) lightest? Explain. (v) How fast can the car go without losing contact with the road at A?

Answer:

As given that the car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley where both the valley and hill have a radius of curvature R.

(i) At point C, the normal force acting on the car is largest because the centripetal force is up. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be greater than the car's weight.

(ii) At point A, the normal force acting on the car is smallest because the centripetal force is down. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be less than car's weight.

(iii) At point C, the driver will feel heaviest because the driver's apparent weight is the normal force on her body.

(iv) At point A, the driver will feel the lightest.

(v)The car can go that much fast without losing contact with the road at A can be determined as follow:

Fn=0 - lose contact with road

Fg= mv²/r

mg=mv²/r

v=sqrt (gr)

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
hram777 [196]

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s

If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did
Harman [31]

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total
