Answer:

Negative acceleration occurs when an object slows down in the positive direction.

Negative acceleration occurs when an object speeds up in the negative direction.

Positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up in the positive direction.

Positive acceleration occurs when an object slows down in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Basically same sign is speeding up and different sign is slowing down

Answer:

Review each answer in the explanation part

Explanation:

Identify a problem or need = Aerospace engineers need a lightweight material to build a jet

Note: Identify a problem is related always with a need.

After identify the problem the next stage is the design

Design a solution = Engineers determine what features the material must have.

Note: The design process implies the choice of the materials and the proper numeric calculations.

Implement the solution = Engineers test a carbon - plastic compound in a wind tunnel.

Note: after the design, the following process is the built of the equipment and the different tests.

Evaluate the solution = The carbon-plastic compound is redesigned to save maximun energy.

Note: After testing, you enter a part of re-design that means making improvements to the already constructed.

A 1100 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 16 degrees. If the car is traveling at 95 km/h, will a frictio

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.

Explanation:

Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.

In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.

The net force is equal to $F = \frac{mv^2}{R} = \frac{1100\times (26.3)^2}{68} = 1.1\times 10^4~N$

Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.

This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.

$F = mg\sin(16) = 1100(9.8)\sin(16) = 2.97\times10^3$

As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.

The amount of the friction force should be $8.21\times 10^3~N$

Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.

A car traveling at 60 mph has how much more energy than a car going at 15 mph?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

No, if a car is going faster. The RPM is obviously higher. If that is higher, you can burn through gas and energy much faster. A car going at 15mph would be cruising and wouldn't have to worry too much about burning our your vehicle.
