Answer:

v = 14.92 m/s

Explanation:

First, make a <u>free body diagram</u> and see the <u>forces in the y-direction</u>.

  • ∑F_y = F_N - F_g

Use Newton's 2nd Law F = ma to replace ∑F_y with m * a_y.

  • m * a_y = F_N - F_g

The acceleration in the y-direction is the centripetal acceleration, a_c = v^2/r.

  • m * v^2/r = F_N - mg

The <u>normal force is 0</u> because this is where the rollercoaster is not falling off the track yet not touching the track.

  • m * v^2/r = - mg

The masses cancel out.

  • v^2/r = -g

<u>Solve for v</u> to find the speed of the rollercoaster at the top of the loop.

  • v^2 = -(-9.81) * r
  • v = √(9.81 * 22.7)
  • v = 14.9227

The minimum speed the coaster must have at the top of the loop to not fall off the track is <u>14.92 m/s</u>.

A horizontal wire of length 0.53 m. carrying a current of 7.5 A. is placed in a uniform external magnetic field. When the wire i
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

3.4 mT

Explanation:

L = 0.53 m

i = 7.5 A

Theta = 19 degree

F = 4.4 × 10^-3 N

Let B be the strength of magnetic field.

Force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

F = i × L × B × Sin theta

4.4 × 10^-3 = 7.5 × 0.53 × B × Sin 19

B = 3.4 × 10^-3 Tesla

B = 3.4 mT

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet
densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726  m^3/s

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min to m^3/s

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x 10^3 ft3 = 1.85 x 10^3 x 0.0283 m3

     = 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min = 52.355/60  m^3/s

        = 0.8726  m^3/s
