A scooter is traveling at a constant speed v when it encounters a circular hill of radius r = 480 m. The driver and scooter toge

ther have mass m = 159 kg.
(a) What speed in m/s does the scooter have if the driver feels weightlessness (i.e., has an apparent weight of zero) at the top of the hill?
(b) If the driver is traveling at the speed above and encounters a hill with a radius 2r,

Answer:

68.585m/sec , 779.1 N

Explanation:

To feel weightless, centripetal acceleration must equal g (9.8m/sec^2). The accelerations then cancel.

From centripetal motion.

F =( mv^2)/2

But since we are dealing with weightlessness

r = 480m

g = 9.8m/s^2

M also cancels, so forget M.

V^2 = Fr

V = √ Fr

V =√ (9.8 x 480) = 4704

= 68.585m/sec.

b) Centripetal acceleration = (v^2/2r) = (68.585^2/960) = 4704/960

= 4.9m/sec^2.

Weight (force) = (mass x acceleration) = 159kg x (g - 4.9)

159kg × ( 9.8-4.9)

159kg × 4.9

= 779.1N

If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you will be 8850 m (about 5.50 mi) above sea level.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

9.773m/s2

Explanation:

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s2

So,

Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on the Mount Everest.

g′=g(1−h2h)

=9.8(1−640000017696)

=9.8(1−0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s2

Hope it helped!!!

What is true about a ferromagnetic material? its magnetic domains are constantly aligned. its north pole is stronger than its so
madam [21]
Th answer is it could gain or loss magnetism.


Ferromagnetism is a kind of magnetism that is associated with cobalt, iron, and nickel and on some alloys or compounds containing one or more of the said elements, It also occurs in gadolinium, which is a rare-earth element. In comparison to other substances, ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized easily and in strong magnetic fields, the magnetization approaches a definite limit called stauration.

If an external field is applied and subsequently removed which does not return the magnetization to its original state or value it is called hysteresis. When heated to a certain temperature (Curie point), which is unique for each substance, ferromagnetic materials would somehow lose their magnetic properties and cease to be magnetic. Once they would cool down, their magnetism would return.
