*A car is going through a dip in the road whose curvature approximates a circle of radius 150m. At what velocity will the occupa

nts of the car appear to weigh 15% more than their normal weight
Physics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

v= 14.85 m/s

Explanation:

  • When at the bottom of the dip, the only force that keeps the car in the circular trajectory, is the centripetal force.
  • This force is not a new force, is just the net force aiming to the center of the circle.
  • In this case, is just the difference between the normal force (always perpendicular to the surface, pointing upward) and the force that gravity exerts on the car (which is known as the weight), pointing downward.
  • So, we can write the following expression:

       F_{cent} = F_{n} - F_{g}  (1)

  • It can be showed that the centripetal force is related to the speed by the following expression:
  • F_{cent} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)
  • The normal force, it is called the apparent weight, because it would be the weight as measured by a scale.
  • Replacing (2) in (1), and solving for Fn, we get:

       F_{n} = m*\frac{v^{2} }{r} + m*g (3)

  • Now, we need to find the value of v that makes Fn, exactly 15% more than the weight m*g, so we can write the following equation:

      F_{n} = 1.15*F_{g} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} +F_{g}  (4)

  • Replacing Fg by its value, simplifying, and solving for v, we get:

       v = \sqrt{0.15*g*r} = \sqrt{9.8 m/s2*0.15*150m} = 14.85 m/s (5)

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Q = 12540  J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.

An open organ pipe of length 0.47328 m and another pipe closed at one end of length 0.702821 m are sounded together. What beat f
sineoko [7]

Answer:

fb = 240.35 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the beat frequency generated by the first modes of each, organ and tube, you use the following formulas for the fundamental frequencies.

Open tube:

f=\frac{v_s}{2L}         (1)

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

L: length of the open tube = 0.47328m

You replace in the equation (1):

f=\frac{343m/s}{2(0.47228m)}=362.36Hz      

Closed tube:

f'=\frac{v_s}{4L'}

L': length of the closed tube = 0.702821m

f'=\frac{343m/s}{4(0.702821m)}=122.00Hz

Next, you use the following formula for the beat frequency:

f_b=|f-f'|=|362.36Hz-122.00Hz|=240.35Hz

The beat frequency generated by the first overtone pf the closed pipe and the fundamental of the open pipe is 240.35Hz

The coefficient of the restitution of an object is defined as the ratio of its outgoing to incoming speed when the object collid
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

48.16 %

Explanation:

coefficient of restitution = 0.72

let the incoming speed be = u

let the outgoing speed be = v

kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x x velocity^{2}

  • incoming kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x x u^{2}

     

  •  coefficient of restitution =\frac{v}{u}

       0.72 =\frac{v}{u}

       v = 0.72u

        therefore the outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x (0.72u)^{2}

        outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x 0.5184 x u^{2}

        outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 (0.5 x m x x u^{2})

recall that 0.5 x m x x u^{2} is our incoming kinetic energy, therefore

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 x (incoming kinetic energy)

from the above we can see that the outgoing kinetic energy is 51.84 % of the incoming kinetic energy.

The energy lost would be 100 - 51.84 = 48.16 %
