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

1. Two charged objects have a repulsive force of 2 N. If the charge of one of the objects is doubled, then the new force will be
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

4 N

Explanation:

Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object hence when the charge is doubled in only one of the objects, the force also double. If it's doubles on both objects, the force becomes four times. In this case, it's doubled on one object hence 2*2= 4 N

An electromagnetic wave is traveling the +y direction. The maximum magnitude of the electric field associated with the wave is E
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.83x10^-9 T

Direction is towards +z axis.

Explanation:

E = cB

E = magnitude of electrical 0.25 Em

c = speed of light in a vacuum 3x10^8 m/s

Therefore,

B = E/c = 0.25 ÷ 3x10^8

B = 0.83x10^-9 T

Magnetic fueld of a EM wave acts perpendicularly to its electric field, therefore it's direction is towards the +Z axis

DIA [1.3K]
The first three steps in scientific inquiry are related in that they are all equivalent to being on a fact finding mission. The three steps are to find or develop the question that must be answered, to study all related academic literature on the subject, and then to make a guess as to what the answer is.
