Answer:
As given that the car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley where both the valley and hill have a radius of curvature R.
(i) At point C, the normal force acting on the car is largest because the centripetal force is up. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be greater than the car's weight.
(ii) At point A, the normal force acting on the car is smallest because the centripetal force is down. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be less than car's weight.
(iii) At point C, the driver will feel heaviest because the driver's apparent weight is the normal force on her body.
(iv) At point A, the driver will feel the lightest.
(v)The car can go that much fast without losing contact with the road at A can be determined as follow:
Fn=0 - lose contact with road
Fg= mv²/r
mg=mv²/r
v=sqrt (gr)
Answer:
1047 miles
Explanation:
The radius of the Earth is
(miles)
So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land
Explanation:
Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.
The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.
