A police officer in hot pursuit of a criminal drives her car through an unbanked circular (horizontal) turn of radius 300 m at a

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is <u>10°.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the driver is, $m=55\ kg$

Radius of circular turn is, $R=300\ m$

Linear speed of the car is, $v=22.2\ m/s$

Since, the car makes a circular turn, the driver experiences a centripetal force radially inward towards the center of the circular turn. Also, the driver experiences a downward force due to her weight. Therefore, two forces act on the driver which are at right angles to each other.

The forces are:

1. Weight = $mg=55\times 9.8=539\ N$

2. Centripetal force, 'F', which is given as:

$F=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\F=\frac{55\times (22.2)^2}{300}\\\\F=\frac{55\times 492.84}{300}\\\\F=\frac{27106.2}{300}=90.354\ N$

Now, the angle of the net force acting on the driver with respect to the vertical is given by the tan ratio of the centripetal force (Horizontal force) and the weight (Vertical force) and is shown in the triangle below. Thus,

$\tan \theta=\frac{90.354}{539}\\\tan \theta=0.1676\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.1676)=9.52\approx 10$ °

Therefore, the angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is 10°.

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

$W = F\cdot \Delta s$

Where:

$W$ - Work, measured in joules.

$F$ - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\,J$

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s$

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Which number is 0.0069 expressed in scientific notation? 6.9 × 10 4 6.9 × 10 –6 6.9 × 10 –4 6.9 × 10 –3

Komok [63]

Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation

Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.

(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example, 0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³

(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example, 4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation

0.0069 = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.

Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).
