Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The potential energy <em><u>(is the energy by virtue of a particular object's location relative to that of other objects. This term is most of the time linked or associated with restoring forces such as a spring or the force of gravity.) </u></em>seems to be U = mgy . In fact, the mgy term has disappeared from the development.

Answer:
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Explanation:
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence ( 65.0° )
is the angle of refraction ( 53.0° )
is the refractive index of the refraction medium (unknown liquid, n=?)
is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)
Hence,
Solving for ,
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Answer:
Approximately (assuming that

Explanation:
The question provided very little information about this motion. Therefore, replace these quantities with letters. These unknown quantities should not appear in the conclusion if this question is actually solvable.
This answer will approach this question in two steps:
For simplicity, let represent the tangential acceleration (
) of this car.
The question gave no information about the distance that the car has travelled before it skidded. However, information about the angular displacement is indeed available: the car travelled (without skidding) one-quarter of a circle, which corresponds to or
radians.
The angular acceleration of this car can be found as . (
is the tangential acceleration of the car, and
is the radius of this circular track.)
Consider the SUVAT equation that relates initial and final (tangential) velocity ( and
) to (tangential) acceleration
and displacement
:
.
The idea is to solve for the final angular velocity using the angular analogy of that equation:
.
In this equation, represents angular displacement. For this motion in particular:
Solve this equation for in terms of
and
:
.
Let represent the mass of this car. The centripetal force at this moment would be:
.
Since the track is flat (not banked,) the only force on the car in the horizontal direction would be the static friction between the tires and the track. Also, the size of the normal force on the car should be equal to its weight, .
Note that even if the size of the normal force does not change, the size of the static friction between the surfaces can vary. However, when the car is just about to skid, the centripetal force at that very moment should be equal to the maximum static friction between these surfaces. It is the largest-possible static friction that depends on the coefficient of static friction.
Let denote the coefficient of static friction. The size of the largest-possible static friction between the car and the track would be:
.
The size of this force should be equal to that of the centripetal force when the car is about to skid:
.
Solve this equation for :
.
Indeed, the expression for does not include any unknown letter. Let
. Evaluate this expression for
