Does the weight of a vehicle get heavier with speed? & why?

Physics

Julli [10]4 years ago

I guess technically it does. 

But the only reason I know of that it should is the relativistic increase
of mass with speed ... that's why we never notice the increase at
everyday speeds.

The effect gets larger at higher speeds.  For example, if the car is
cruising through the neighborhood at 6.71 million miles per hour
(1% the speed of light), then its mass, and therefore its weight,
is 0.005% more than when it's sitting still at a red light.

Now, if the driver were to put the pedal to the metal and open 'er up
to 10% the speed of light, then the car's mass (and the driver's mass
too) would increase to a whopping 0.5% more than its 'rest mass'.

So you would definitely have to say that the vehicle does get heavier
as it speeds up.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km

What is the maximum speed with which a 1200-kg car can round a turn of radius 90.0 m on a flat road if the coefficient of fricti
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 26.56 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

Radius of the curve, r = 90 m

The coefficient of friction between tires and the road is 0.8.

We need to find the maximum speed of the car. On the circular curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction. So,

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=\mu g\\\\v=\sqrt{\mu gr} \\\\v=\sqrt{0.8\times 9.8\times 90} \\\\v=26.56\ m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 26.56 m/s.

According to the third law of planetary motion, the period of revolution of a planet is related to the planet’s _____.
matrenka [14]
Distance from the sun.

<span>The third law of planetary motion states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit</span>. The semi-major axis is the distance from the sun to the epicenter of the ellipse (which would be the planet in question). So, the revolutionary period is directly related to the distance of the planet from the sun.
