Answer:

In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.

mel-nik [20]

In this particular case, where car is moving through curvature, so it is moving in circular motion, force acting on car is centripetal force which holds car not to fly out. Centripetal force is always pointed in the middle of circle. Here frictional force has role of centripetal force. If frictional force is to weak, car would fly out of curvutare.

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$R=240m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=25m/s$

Force of friction f = 0

Angle $\theta=15$

Generally the equation for Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

$R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}$

$R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}$

$R=240m$

Starting from rest, a car takes 2.4s to travel 15m. Assuming a constant acceleration, how long will it take the car to travel th

Alborosie

Answer:

T = 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 [s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following kinematics equation and calculate the acceleration value.

$x=x_{o} +v_{o}*t+(\frac{1}{2})*a*t^{2}$

Vo = inital velocity = 0

x - xo = 15 [m]

t = time = 2.4 [s]

15 = 0.5*a*(2.4)^2

a = 5.208 [m/s^2]

We can use the same equation to find the time.

30 = 15 + 0.5*(5.208)*t^2

t = 2.4 [s]

T = 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 [s]

A speedboat initially at rest accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s (squared) for 7.0 s. How fast is the boat moving after 7.0 s?

zaharov [31]

Well if the boat initially at rest accelerates at uniformly at 4.0 m/s (squared) then it would be best to muitlply it so 4.0 squared equals 2 by multiplying that by 7.0 your answer would be 14 s

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

v=40 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

$\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}$

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

$\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s$

The velocity is directed to the south
