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

PLS ANSWER FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!!
Kipish [7]

Answer:

2 Newtons

Explanation:

F = ma

Therefore, your mass would be 1kg and your acceleration would be 2m/s/s

Plug the numbers into the equation:

(1kg)(2m/s/s)

which will equal

2 Newtons

The distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million km. When converted using the conversion factor 1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km, the dista
noname [10]
To convert km to AU, we divide 225,000,000 km by the factor of 1.5 x 10^8 = 150,000,000 km. This gives us 225,000,000 / 150,000,000 = 1.5 AU. Therefore, the distance between Earth and Mars in AU is 1.5 AU.
The AU is not equivalent to a light-year. A light-year is equivalent to around 9.5 x 10^12 kilometers.

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
