You are assigned to do some calculations for a movie stunt that involves a car on a straight road. The road, pictured above, has

a hill that rises 8.0 m above the flat region. The top of the hill is a circular arc of radius 20 m. You need to determine whether a car traveling under certain conditions will lose contact with the road at the top of the hill. There is a stop sign 50 m from the beginning of the hill. You are to assume that a car of mass 1600 kg accelerates uniformly from rest at the stop sign, has a speed of when it reaches the beginning of the hill, and then coasts with the engine off. Assume energy losses due to friction and air resistance are negligiblea. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the car during the first 50 m
b. Calculate the time it takes the car to reach the beginning of the hill

Answer:

a) a = 2.89 m/s²

b) t ≈ 6 s

Explanation:

Given

h = 8 m

R = 20 m

x = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 17 m/s

m = 1600 kg

a) We can apply the kinematic equation

v² = v₀²+2ax

then

a = (v²-v₀²)/(2x)

⇒ a = ((17 m/s)²-(0 m/s)²)/(2*50 m)

⇒ a = 2.89 m/s²

Now, we can find the normal acceleration as follows

aₙ = v²/R

⇒ aₙ = (17 m/s)²/(20 m)

⇒ aₙ = 14.45 m/s²

Since a < aₙ   (2.89 m/s² < 14.45 m/s²) the car will not reach the top of the hill.

b) We can get the time using the kinematic equation

v = v₀+at

⇒ t = (v-v₀)/a

⇒ t = (17 m/s-0 m/s)/(2.89 m/s²)

⇒ t = 5.88 s ≈ 6 s

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40-g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 470-g sample of silver at an initial temperat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

Explanation:

mass of water (Mw) = 225 g = 0.225 kg

mass of copper stirrer (Mcu) = 40 g = 0.04 kg

initial temperature of water (Tw) = 27 degrees

mass of silver (Mag) = 470 g = 0.47 kg

initial temperature of silver (Ts) = 85 degrees

final temperature of the mixture (T) = 32 degrees

find the mass of the aluminum cup (Mal)

applying the conservation of energy

((Mal.cAl) + (Mw.cW) + (Mcu.cCu))(ΔTw) = (Mag.cAg)(ΔTag)

we require the specific heat capacities of water (cW) , aluminium (cAl) , copper (cCu) and silver (cAg) which are as follows

water (cW) =4186 J/kg.K

aluminium (cAl) = 900 J/kg.K

copper (cCu) = 387 J/kg.K

silver (cAg) = 234 J/kg.K

now we can put in our values to get the mass of the Aluminium cup (Mag)

((Mal.900) + (0.225 x 4186) + (0.04 x 387))(32-27) = (0.47 x 234)(85-32)

(900 . Mal + 957.33) x 5 = 5828.94

900 .Mal + 957.33 = 1165.79

900.Mal = 1165.79 - 957.33 = 208.5

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure

A 57 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 33 ∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of t
beks73 [17]
The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy. 

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>

<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>

<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>

<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>
