Answer:

\mu =0.75

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

F_c=m.a_c

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

F_r=\mu N

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

F_r=\mu .m.g

Equating both forces

\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

Simplifying

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}

Substituting the values

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}

\boxed{\mu =0.75}

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
