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

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

How does superposition provide evidence for the evolution of earth?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Explanation: This Law of Superposition is fundamental to the interpretation of Earth history, because at any one location it indicates the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils in them.

What is the equation for net force
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is to add all forces, for example either the gf = gravitational force

Ff= force fiction

Fn= normal force

Thus, fg + ff + fn = y will give you results

Well then the forces you use in your exercises or questions.
