Answer:

34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the car is equal to the product between the mass of the car, m, and the centripetal acceleration a_c (because the car is moving of circular motion). So at the top of the hill the equation of the forces is:

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

where

(mg) is the weight of the car (downward), with m being the car's mass and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

R is the normal reaction exerted by the road on the car (upward, so with negative sign)

v is the speed of the car

r = 0.120 km = 120 m is the radius of the curve

The problem is asking for the speed that the car would have when it tires just barely lose contact with the road: this means requiring that the normal reaction is zero, R=0. Substituting into the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(120 m)}=34.3 m/s

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of system of charges

= k q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + k q₁q₃ / r₁₃ + k q₃q₂ / r₃₂

q₁ , q₂ and q₃ are charges and  r₁₂ , r₁₃ , r₃₂ are densities between them

9 x 10⁹ ( 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 )

= 9 x 10⁹  x 3 x 16 x 10⁻¹²

= 432 x 10⁻³

= .432 J .

These the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat. (Lessons 5.01-5.03)
liq [111]

Answer:

Conductors.

Explanation:

Conductors allow the flow of electrons i. e. the current and where some of the electrons energy gets converted into heat while some electrons energy converted into light. Conductors are the materials which has the ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through them. Metals such as gold, copper, Silver, Aluminum, Mercury, Steel, Iron and salty water etc are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Newton’s Second Law of motion defines force in terms of mass and acceleration, F= ma. Which of the following is false? The term
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The forces creating the net force must lie in the same direction.

Explanation:

newton's second law states that the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration of the body.

If there are several forces acting on the body in different directions, then we have to find teh net force by using the vector sum and then find the acceleration.

It is not necessary that all the forces acting in the same direction.

if they are in different directions then we have to find the net force by t=using the formula for the vector sum.

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

tau = F\times r

tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'

\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm
