A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o

f 48.6 m. Determine the maximum speed that the cycle can have while moving over the crest without losing contact with the road.

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours
Bogdan [553]
We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

 That's

==>  1,188,000,000 joules

==>  1,188,000 kilojoules

==>  1,188 megajoules

==>  1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy ! 
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with. 
That's no common ordinary household appliance.  110 kw is something like
147 horsepower.  In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole.  Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops.  And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ
