Answer:
14m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Radius of the curve = 50m
Centripetal acceleration = 3.92m/s²
Unknown:
Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?
Solution:
The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.
It is given as;
a =
a is the centripetal acceleration
v is the speed
r is the radius
Now insert the parameters and find v;
v² = ar
v² = 3.92 x 50 = 196
v = √196 = 14m/s
Answer:
The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg
Height of the car, h = 19 m
Spring constant of the spring,
We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,
x is the compression in spring
So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.
