*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

Valentin [98]2 years ago

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)

Why didn’t early Portuguese and Dutch explorers decide to create settlements in Australia
aleksandrvk [35]
I think it is because most of the settlements in Australia are under the Spanish rule. Aside from that, Australia was part of the Spanish territory because of the papal bull mandated by Pope Alexander VI. The papal bull divided the world between Spain and Portugal. Spain has full control of the west while Portugal owns the east side of the world

Portuguese explorers were forced to study Australia in secret.

Q1: We drop this 0.1 kg apple 1 m. What speed does it hit the ground
77julia77 [94]
Potential energy is measured using formula Ep=mgh
m=mass (kg)
g= acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 on earth)
h= height in metres above ground

For this question
m=0.1
g=9.8
h=1
So Ep=0.1(9.8)(1)
Ep=0.98 Joules

When it is dropped all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which can be measured using formula
Ek=1/2m(v^2) (v=final velocity)

Since all potential energy in this q is converted to kinetic we know Ek=0.98Joules and our mass is the same (0.1kg)

So when we sub everything in we get
0.98=1/2(0.1)(v^2)
0.98=0.05(v^2)||divide both side by 0.05
19.6=v^2 ||square root both sides
v=4.4 m/s

What is the gravitational force between mars and Phobos
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of Mars is, m_M=6.42\times 10^{23}\ kg

Mass of its moon Phobos, m_P=1.06\times 10^{16}\ kg

Distance between Mars and Phobos, d = 9378 km

It is required to find the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos. The force between two masses is given by

F=G\dfrac{m_Mm_P}{d^2}

Plugging all values, we get :

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{6.42\times 10^{23}\times 1.06\times 10^{16}}{(9378\times 10^3)^2}\\\\F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

So, the gravitational force is 5.16\times 10^{15}\ N.

What is the strength of an electric field that will put a force of<br> 1.28 x 10-15 N on a proton?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: E =  7,490.6 N/C

Explanation:

If we have a field E, and a particle with a charge q, the force that the particle experiences is:

F = E*q

In this case, we know that the force is:

F = 1.2*10^(-15) N

And we know that the particle is a proton, where the charge of a proton is:

q = 1.602*10^(-19) C

Then we can replace these two values in the equation to get:

1.2*10^(-15) N = E*1.602*10^(-19) C

We just need to isolate E.

(1.2*10^(-15) N)/(1.602*10^(-19) C) = E

7,490.6 N/C = E

That is the strength of the electric field.

Two difference between thrust and upthrust .
velikii [3]

Upthrust is the upward force exerted by fluids on the surface of an object immersed in fluids. Thrust:- It is the force acting perpendicular to the surface. Upthrust:- It is the upward force exerted by the fluid on the surface of an object immersed in liquid.
