Two curves on a highway have the same radii. However, one is unbanked and the other is banked at an angle θ. A car can safely tr

avel along the unbanked curve at a maximum speed v0 under conditions when the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.563. The banked curve is frictionless, and the car can negotiate it at the same speed v0. Find the angle θ of the banked curve.

Answer:

θ = 29.38°

Explanation:

The centripetal force is given by the formula;

F_c = F_n(sin θ) = mv²/r

Now, the vertical component of the normal force is; F_n(cos θ)

Now, this vertical component is also expressed as; F_n(cos θ) = mg

Thus, the slope is;

F_n(sin θ)/F_n(cos θ) = (mv²/r)/mg

tan θ = v²/rg

v² = rg(tan θ)

The initial speed will be gotten from the relation;

(v_o)² = μ_s(gr)

Plugging rg(tan θ) for (v_o)², we have;

μ_s(gr) = rg(tan θ)

rg will cancel out to give;

μ_s = (tan θ)

Thus, θ = tan^(-1) μ_s

μ_s is coefficient of static friction given as 0.563

θ = tan^(-1) 0.563

θ = 29.38°

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 3.82 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such
maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of diagnostic ultrasound, f = 3.82 MHz = 3820 Hz

The speed of the sound in air, v = 343 m/s

(a) We need to find the wavelength in air of such a sound wave. Let it is given by λ₁

i.e. \lambda=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_1=0.089\ m

(b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1650 m/s .

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{1650\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_2=0.43\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the average Power in kilowatts required to pull a car up a ramp in the amount of work is 250 KJ over a period of 45 se
kherson [118]

For this case we have that by definition, the average power is given by:

P = \frac {W} {t}

Where:

W: It is the work done

t: It's time

According to the data we have to:

W = 250 \ KJ = 250,000 \ J\\t = 45 \ s

So:

P = \frac {250,000} {45}\\P = 5555.55 \ watts = 5.56 \ kw

Answer:

5.56 \ kw

An object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. If the tension in the string is equal to 25 N at an instant
Phantasy [73]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em> - <em>mg</em> = - <em>ma</em>

where

• <em>T</em> = 25 N, the tension in the string

• <em>m</em> is the mass of the object

• <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity

• <em>a</em> = 2.0 m/s², the acceleration of the elevator-object system

Solve for <em>m</em> :

25 N - <em>m</em> (9.8 m/s²) = - <em>m</em> (2.0 m/s²)

==>   <em>m</em> = (25 N) / (9.8 m/s² - 2.0 m/s²) ≈ 3.2 kg

A spectroscope:
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Measures light from distant objects

Explanation:

A spectroscope is used to measure the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of.

It could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use.

Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory says that "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source"
