If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the

curve (a real problem on icy mountain roads). (a) Calculate the ideal speed to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15.0o. (b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed for a frightened dri

Answer:

a) The ideal speed = 16.21 m/s

b) Minimum co-efficient of friction = 0.216

Explanation:

From the given information:

The ideal speed can be determined by considering the centrifugal force component and the gravity component.

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}cos \theta = mg sin \theta

v = \sqrt {gr \ tan \theta}

= \sqrt{(9.8 \ m/s^2) (100) \ tan 15^0}

= 16.21 m/s

(b)

Let assume that it requires 25 km/h to take the same curve.

Then, using the equilibrium conditions;

mg \ sin \theta = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} cos \theta + \mu ((\dfrac{mv^2}{r}) sin \theta + mg cos \theta)

\mu = \dfrac{mg sin \theta - \dfrac{mv^2}{r} cos \theta }{((\dfrac{mv^2}{r}) sin \theta + mg cos \theta) }

\mu = \dfrac{g sin \theta - \dfrac{ v^2}{r} cos \theta }{((\dfrac{v^2}{r}) sin \theta + g cos \theta) }

\mu = \dfrac{(9.8 \ m/s^2 )  sin (15^0) - \dfrac{ \dfrac{(25 \times 10^3}{3600} \ m/s)^2 }{100 \ m } cos (15^0) }{((\dfrac{(\dfrac{25 \times 10^3}{3600} )^2}{100}) sin 15^0 + (9.8 \ m/s^2)  cos 15^0 ) }

\mathbf{\mu = 0.216}

A 0.547 kg pizza is thrown straight up in the air. At a height of 2.30 m above the surface of the earth it has a speed of 5.00 m
natima [27]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is that which a body or a system obtains as a result of the speed of its movement or its specific position, and which is capable of producing mechanical work. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in a position of rest, until it reaches a certain speed.

Kinetic energy is represented by the following formula:

Ec = ½ *m*v²

Where Ec is kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J), m is mass measured in kilograms (kg), and v is velocity measured in meters over seconds (m / s).

In this case:

  • m=0.547 kg
  • v= 5 m/s

Replacing:

Ec = ½ *0.547 kg*(5 m/s)²

and solving you get:

Ec= 6.8375 J

On the other hand, potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a system to perform work based on its position. In other words, this is the energy that a body has at a certain height above the ground.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational force. This will depend on the relative height of an object to some reference point, the mass, and the force of gravity. Then for an object with mass m, at height h, the expression applied to the gravitational energy of the object is:

Ep = m*g*h

Where Ep is the potential energy in joules (J), m is the mass in kilograms (kg) is h the height in meters (m) and g is the acceleration of fall in m / s² (approximately 9.81 m/s²)

In this case:

  • m= 0.547 kg
  • g= 9.81 m/s²
  • h= 2.30 m

Replacing

Ep= 0.547 kg *9.81 m/s²* 2.30 m

and solving you get:

Ep= 12.342 J

So:

Total mechanical energy= 12.342 J + 6.8375 J

Total mechanical energy= 19.1795 J≅ 19.2 J

<u><em>The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.</em></u>

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.
