For the ride to be comfortable, the magnitude of acceleration must not exceed 32 m/s2. What is the fastest constant speed that a

coaster can travel along this section of the track subject to this condition

VMariaS [17]2 years ago

Answer:

the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec  

Explanation:

from the image, Given that

r(t) = (2t, t²,t²/3), -5 ≤ t ≤ 5  

Given that the curvature K(t)  = 2 / ( t² + 2)²  

note that t² + 2 ≥ 2  

(t² + 2)² ≥ 4

1 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/4

2 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/2

Also note that k(0) = 1/2

The normal component of acceleration satisfies aN = kv²

where v = ║v(t)║is the speed of the roller coaster.

The maximum possible normal component of acceleration is 32

so, aN ≤ 32 every where on the track

aN = kv² ≤  1/2v² ≤ 32

v² ≤ 64

Therefore, the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3

m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}

Divide both side by m_1, then multiply by 6 we have

6v = 2v + 3v_2

3v_2 = 4v

v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

2) A car travels 5 miles north, and then 10 miles south. What is the person's DISTANCE and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

distance traveled is 15 mi

displacement is 5 mi

Explanation:

Distance takes time into account and adds up all the tiny displacements during the entire period of the trip.

Displacement ignores time and looks only at the change in position from the starting point to the ending point.

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.
Damm [24]
Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

When one person shouts at a football game, the sound intensity level at the center of the field is 58.4 dB. When all the people
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The number of people at game are approximately 22909

Explanation:

Given data

When one person shout \beta _{1}=58.4dB

When n number of person shout together \beta _{n}=102dB

The sound intensity level during one person shout is given by:

\beta _{1}=10log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}} )\\58.4=10log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}} )\\5.84=log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}} )\\\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}} =10^{5.84}\\I_{1}=10^{5.84}*I_{o}

The sound intensity level during n number of person shout is given by:

\beta _{n}=10log(\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}} )\\102=10log(\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}} )\\10.2=log(\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}} )\\\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}}=10^{10.2}\\I_{n}=10^{10.2}*I_{o}

Since each person generates same sound intensity and hence total number  of persons can be determined as

 =\frac{I_{n}}{I_{1}}\\ =\frac{10^{10.2}I_{o}}{10^{5.84}I_{o}} \\=22909

Hence

The number of people at game are approximately 22909
