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 35 mg of Oxygen is mixed with 1000 g of water at 25 degrees Celsius, a solution forms.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solute is oxygen

The solvent is water

Explanation:

A solvent is any chemical substance that dissolves other chemical substances, while a solute refers to any chemical substance that dissolves in other chemical substances. The best way to know when a chemical substance dissolves in another chemical substance is when a solid or gas dissolves in water. The solid or the gas can now be referred to as the solute and it will be shown to be in the the aqueous state, while the solvent is usually shown to be in the liquid state in any chemical equation.

Let us use the particular example of the dissolution of oxygen gas in water as shown below;

O2(g) + H2O(l)⇄O2(aq) + H2O(l)

The aqueous oxygen is the solute while the liquid water is the solvent.

Also, the substance having a smaller mass must be the solute and the substance having the larger mass must be the solvent.

A rotating light is located 13 feet from a wall. The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds. Find the rate at which the li
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

29.2 ft/s

Explanation:

The distance of the light's projection on the wall

y = 13 tan θ

where θ is the light's angle from perpendicular to the wall.

The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds, that is, 2π in 3 seconds,

Angular speed = w = (2π/3)

w = (θ/t)

θ = wt = (2πt/3)

(dθ/dt) = (2π/3)

y = 13 tan θ

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (dθ/dt)

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (2π/3)

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² θ

when θ = 15°

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² (15°)

(dy/dt) = 29.2 ft/s

ehidna [41]

Answer:

4. total energy

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's principle at any two points along a streamline flow The total energy that is sum of pressure energy , Kinetic energy  and potential energy of the liquid all taken in per unit volume remains constant. Therefore,

for ideal fluid flows through a pipe of variable cross section without any friction. The fluid completely fills the pipe. At any given point in the pipe, the fluid has a constant Total Energy.

Moving a charged object against an electrical force causes it to
Alinara [238K]

Decelerate

<u>Explanation:</u>

If a charged object is moving against an electric force, the electric force would cause the charged object to decelerate. Rate of deceleration would depend on the amount of the charge the object posses and amount of the opposing electric force.

This could be understood by visualising a hypothetical situation where a charged object is moving against an electric force. Since the object is charged, it would exert a force in its direction of motion which would be opposed by the electric force, thus causing it to decelerate

A notebook sitting on a desk has 19 j of potential energy. What is the total mechanical energy of the notebook?
Alex17521 [72]

The total mechanical energy of the notebook is <u><em>19J</em></u>.

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.  It has no kinetic energy, because it's not moving.  So its potential energy is all the  mechanical energy it has.
