The net force on the car is the friction that keeps it on the road, which points toward the center of the circle of the curve. Then by Newton's second law, we have

• net vertical force:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>N</em> - <em>W</em> = 0

• net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>Fs</em> = <em>m a</em>

where

<em>N</em> = magnitude of normal force

<em>W</em> = car's weight

<em>Fs</em> = mag. of static friction

<em>m</em> = car's mass

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em> ²/<em>R</em> = mag. of the centripetal acceleration

<em>v</em> = car's speed

<em>R</em> = radius of curve

Now,

• compute the car's weight:

<em>W</em> = <em>m g</em> = (1500 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 14,700 N

• solve for the mag. of the normal force:

<em>N</em> = 14,700 N

• solve for the mag. of the friction force, using the given friction coefficient:

<em>Fs</em> = 0.5 <em>N</em> = 7350 N

• solve for the (maximum) acceleration:

7350 <em>N</em> = (1500 kg) <em>a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = 4.9 m/s²

• solve for the (maximum) speed:

4.9 m/s² = <em>v</em> ²/ (35 m)   →   <em>v</em> ≈ 13 m/s

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

Define Momentum in detail.
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t

Which landform is produced at location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of
mixer [17]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

The landform produced at the location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico is a delta.

A delta is a depositional landform where a smaller body of water enters into a larger one.

The Gulf of Mexico contains a larger body of water and as the Mississippi river enters into it, it splits up into many distributaries.

So, this feature is a delta.

What do you understand by upthrust Force​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

An object that is partly, or completely, submerged experiences a greater pressure on its bottom surface than on its top surface. This causes a resultant force upwards. This force is called upthrust . The upthrust force is equal in size to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Buoyancy or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.It is the force that pushes an object up. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps ships afloat. The upthrust, or buoyancy, keeps swimmers on top of the water.

The force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound
Contact [7]

The force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound is an ionic bond.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The transfer process of valence electron between atoms referred as ionic bond. This is a kind of chemical bonds which can create two oppositely charged ions. In the presence of ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons and becomes a positive charge cation, while non-metal accepts these electrons and becomes a negative charge anion.

Here, more than 1 electron can be emitted or received to meet the octet principle and the net charge of the compound should be zero. For example: Table salt. In this compound, sodium loses the electron to become N a^{+}, while the chlorine loses the electron to become c l^{-}.
