Answer:
Mass, m = 26.54kg
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
- Fnet is the net force
- Fapp is the applied force
- Fg is the force due to gravitation
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Net force, Fnet = 345
Acceleration, a = 3.2m/s²
<u>To find mass;</u>
Fnet = Fapp + Fg
Fnet = ma + mg
Fnet = m(a+g)
m = Fnet/(a+g)
We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²
Substituting into the equation, we have;
m = 345/(3.2 + 9.8)
m = 345/13
Mass, m = 26.54kg
Answer:
The vector form is as shown in the attachment
Explanation:
The figure as shown in the diagram, indicates that the car is moving along the road at a constant speed. Centripetal acceleration comes into play for an object moving in a circular motion at uniform speed. The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object while in uniform circular motion.
Mathematically from centripetal acceleration; a = v2/r
The equation shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration and the radius of curvature as such the radius of curvature at the point A will be more than the radius of curvature at the point C, this shows that the centripetal acceleration at point C will be more than the centripetal acceleration at point A.
The attachment shows the figure and the representation in vectorial form.
