I'm sorry, I just saw this. I hope I'm not too late.

GPE = mass * gravity * height

height = GPE/(mass * gravity)

height = 50/(1/2 * 9.8)

height = 10.2041 Meters

A toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b

luda_lava [24]

Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

To test the performance of its tires, a car

velikii [3]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the track, r = 516 m

Tangential Acceleration $a_r$ = 3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v = 32.8 m/s

To Find:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road = ?

Solution:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

$a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}$

$a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}$

$a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2$

Now the total acceleration is

$\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2$

=> $= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}$

=> $19.4791 m/s^2$

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of static friction is

$\mu =\frac{f}{W}$

From (1) and (2)

$\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

Substituting the values, we get

$\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}$

$\mu =1.987$

Under what condition will a glass lens placed in a transparent medium becomes invisible??

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A lens placed in a transparent liquid becomes invisible because when refractive index of the material of the lens is equal to the refractive index of the liquid in which lens is placed under this condition no bending of light takes place when it travels from liquid to the lens, so both will start behaving like both are same things.

Explanation:

hope it helps :))
