Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid ofcarbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

A 975-kg sports car (including driver) crosses the rounded top of a hill at determine (a) the normal force exerted by the road o

iVinArrow [24]

There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill: $v=15 m/s$
- radius of the hill: $r=100 m$

Solution:

(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car $W=mg$ (downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force, $m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , so we can write:
$mg-N=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ (1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
$N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(975 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(975 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=7371 N$

(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
$N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(62 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=469 N$

(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
$mg=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
from which we find
$v= \sqrt{gr}= \sqrt{(9.81 m/s^2)(100 m)}=31.3 m/s$

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50

sergij07 [2.7K]

To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving.

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x) where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s

If the mass of an object stays the same and you apply more force what will happen to the objects motion

it will move the object if you apply force, because of that it will stay the same with newton's law.
