Answer:

W = F * s

Work done equals applied force * distance traveled

Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ) since some of applied force will lighten sled

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled

s = distance traveled

[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled

Note that F = μ M g if applied force is in the horizontal direction

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t

damaskus [11]

The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m

Answer:

a-1 Graph is attached. The relation is linear.

a-2 The corresponding height for 68 kPa Pressure is 7.54 m

a-3 The corresponding weight for 68 kPa Pressure is 1394726kg

b The original height of the column is 5.98 m

Explanation:

Part a

a-1

The graph is attached with the solution. The relation is linear as indicated by the line.

a-2

By the equation

$P=\rho \times g \times h$

Here

P is the pressure which is given as 68 kPa.
ρ is the density of the oil whose SG is 0.92. It is calculated as

$\rho=S.G \times \rho_{water}\\\rho=0.92 \times 1000 kg/m^3\\\rho=920 kg/m^3\\$

g is the gravitational constant whose value is 9.8 m/s^2
h is the height which is to be calculated

$P=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{68 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=7.54m$

So the height of column is 7.54m

a-3

By the relation of volume and density

$M=\rho \times V$

Here

ρ is the density of the oil which is 920 kg/m^3
V is the volume of cylinder with diameter 16m calculated as follows

$V=\pi r^2h\\V=3.14\times (8)^2 \times 7.54\\V=1515.23 m^3$

Mass is given as

$M=\rho \times V\\M=920 \times 1515.23\\M=1394726kg$

So the mass of oil leading to 68kPa is 1394726kg

Part b

Pressure variation is given as

$\Delta P=P_{obs}-P_{atm}\\\Delta P=115-101 kPa\\\Delta P=14 kPa\\$

Now corrected pressure is as

$P_c=P_g-\Delta P\\P_c=68-14 kPa\\P_c=54 kPa$

Finding the value of height for this corrected pressure as

$P_c=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P_c}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{54 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=5.98m$

The original height of column is 5.98m

Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a cd

Nady [450]

The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.
