Answer:

It isn't safe for the car to drive on this road.

The radial acceleration of the car exceeds the maximum radial acceleration the road can support.

Explanation:

For the road to be safe for the car, frictional force of the road on the car must always exceed or match the force keeping the car in circular motion

Frictional force of the road on the car = μmg = 0.4 × 1600 × 9.8 = 6272 N

Force keeping the car in circular motion = mv²/r = 1600×27²/150 = 7776 N

The force keeping the car in circular motion > Frictional force that the road can support the car with.

Maximum radial acceleration the road can support = Frictional force/mass of the car = 6272/1600 = 3.92 m/s²

Radial acceleration of the car currently = 7776/1600 = 4.86 m/s²

which evidently exceeds the maximum allowable radial acceleration

This means the road isn't safe for the car.

Answer:

v_r = 1.268 × 10⁸ mi/hr

Explanation:

We are given;

wavelength of the red light; λr = 693 nm = 693 × 10^(-9) m

wavelength of the yellow light; λy = 582 nm = 582 × 10^(-9) m

Frequency is given by the formula;

f = v/λ

Where v is speed of light = 3 x 10^(8) m

Frequency of red light; f_o = [3 x 10^(8)]/(693 × 10^(-9)) = 4.33 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Similarly, Frequency of yellow light;

f = [3 x 10⁸]/(582 × 10^(-9)) = 5.15 x 10¹⁴ Hz

To find the speed of the car, we will use the formula;

f = f_o[(c + v_r)/c)]

Where c is speed of light and v_r is speed of car.

Making v_r the subject;

cf/f_o = c + v_r

v_r = c(f/f_o - 1)

So, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_r = 3 × 10⁸[((5.15 x 10¹⁴)/(4.33 x 10¹⁴)) - 1]

v_r = 3 × 10⁸(0.189)

v_r = 5.67 x 10⁷ m/s

Converting to mi/hr, 1 m/s = 2.23694 mile/hr

So, v_r = 5.67 × 10⁷ × 2.23694

v_r = 1.268 × 10⁸ mi/hr

Explain the factors that affect capillary action
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture is up) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.
