At what angle should the roadway on a curve with a 50m radius be banked to allow cars to negotiate the curve at 12 m/s even if t

he roadway is frictionless?
Physics

Answer:

The road bank angle is 16.38⁰.

Explanation:

radius of curvature of the road, r = 50 m

allowable speed of car on the road, v = 12 m/s

The bank angle is calculated as;

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v^2}{gr} )

where;

θ is the road bank angle

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v^2}{gr} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12^2}{9.8 \times 50} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} ( 0.2939)\\\\\theta = 16.38 ^0

Therefore, the road bank angle is 16.38⁰.

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if
maxonik [38]
The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of \Delta V=780 V, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  e \Delta V
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
\Delta V is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s


Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T

Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.
