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 are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).

How can I answer question 19? please help me, I need the answer now
Crank
The spring starts out 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it.

Hanging 35 newtons of weight on it stretches the spring 1 meter.

Ellen is going to hang 250 grams of mass on the spring.
What's the weight of 250 grams of mass ?

   Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity in the place where the mass is) .

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
250 grams is 0.25 of a kilogram.

Weight of 250 grams  =  (0.25 kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                 =    (0.25 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                                 =        2.45 newtons .

2.45 newtons of weight is  (2.45 / 35) of 35 newtons,
so it'll stretch the spring  (2.45 / 35) of a meter.

   2.45/35 = 0.07 of a meter  =  7 centimeters.

The spring was 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it,
and the 250-gm weight stretched it 7 cm.
So with the weight hanging on it, it's (22 + 7) = 29 cm long.
