A 50.0 g toy car is released from rest on a frictionless track with a vertical loop of radius R (loop-the-loop). The initial hei

Mariana [72]

Answer:

the speed of the car at the top of the vertical loop $v_{top} = 2.0 \sqrt{gR \ \ }$

the magnitude of the normal force acting on the car at the top of the vertical loop $F_{N} = 1.47 \ \ N$

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy ;

$mgh = mg (2R) + \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{top}\\\\mg ( 4.00 \ R) = mg (2R) + \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{top}\\\\g(4.00 \ R) = g (2R) + \frac{1}{2}v^2 _{top}\\\\v_{top} = \sqrt{2g(4.00R - 2R)}\\\\v_{top} = \sqrt{2g(4.00-2)R$

$v_{top} = 2.0 \sqrt{gR \ \ }$

The magnitude of the normal force acting on the car at the top of the vertical loop can be calculated as:

$F_{N} = \frac{mv^2_{top}}{R} \ - mg\\\\F_{N} = \frac{m(2.0 \sqrt{gR})^2}{R} \ - mg\\\\F_{N} = [(2.0^2-1]mg\\\\F_{N} = [(2.0)^2 -1) (50*10^{-3} \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2]\\\\$

$F_{N} = 1.47 \ \ N$

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explain this quote "ambition beats genius 99% of the time. "

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce

sweet-ann [11.9K]

To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.
