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.

A copper rod has a length of 1.3 m and a cross-sectional area of 3.6 10-4 m2. One end of the rod is in contact with boiling wate
sdas [7]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to heat flow,

The heat flux can be defined as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = H = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}

Where,

k = Thermal conductivity

A = Area of cross-sectional area

d = Length of the rod

\Delta T= Temperature difference between the ends of the rod

k =388 W/m.\°C Thermal conductivity of copper rod

A = 3.6 *10^{-4} m Area of cross section of rod

\Delta T=100-0=100\°C Temperature difference  

d=1.3m length of rod

Replacing then,

H = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}

H = \frac{(388)(3.6 *10^{-4})(100)}{1.3}

H=10.7446J

From the definition of heat flow we know that this is also equivalent

H = \dot{m}*L

Where,

\dot{m} = Mass per second

L = 334J/g Latent heat of fusion of ice

Re-arrange to find \dot{m},

H = \dot{m}*L

\dot{m}=\frac{L}{H}

\dot{m}=\frac{334}{10.7446}

\dot{m} = 31.08g/s

\dot{m}= 0.032g/s

Therefore the mass of ice per second that melts is 0.032g

The total mass of the train and its passengers is 750000kg. The train is traveling at a speed of 84m/s. The driver applies the b
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

|F| = 393750  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the train, m = 750000 kg

Initial speed, u = 84 m/s

Final speed, v = 42 m/s

Time, t = 80 s

We need to find the net force acting on the train. The formula for force is given by :

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{750000\times (42-84)}{80}\\\\F=-393750\ N

So, the magnitude of net force is 393750  N.
