Answer:

The question is incomplete; refer to the attachment for the diagram

Explanation:

Provided that,

The mass of the car

M = 1500kg

Entering the curve at Point A with a speed of

Va = 100km/hr = 100× 1000/3600

Va = 27.78m/s

The car slows down at a constant rate until it reaches point C at a speed of

Vc = 50km/hr = 50×1000/3600

Vc = 13.89m/s

Radius of curvature at point A

p = 400m

Radius of curvature at point B

p = 80m

The distance from point A to point B as indicated in the attachment is

S=200m

We need to determine the total horizontal forces at points A, B, and C applied by the road on the tire

The constant tangential acceleration can be computed using the equation of motion

Vc² = Va² + 2as

13.89² = 27.78² + 2 × a × 200

192.9 = 771.6 + 400a

400a = 192.9—771.6

400a = -578.7

a = -578.7 / 400

a = —1.45 m/s²

at = —1.45m/s²

The tangential acceleration is -1.45m/s² and it is negative due to the car decelerating

Since the vehicle is decreasing speed at a uniform rate, the tangential acceleration remains the same at every point

At point A

at = -1.45m/s²

At point B

at = -1.45m/s²

At point C

at = -1.45m/s²

Now,

We can compute the normal component of acceleration (centripetal acceleration) at each point since we know the radius of curvature

The centripetal acceleration can be calculated using

ac = v²/ p

At point A ( p = 400)

an = Va²/p = 27.78² / 400

an = 1.93 m/s²

At point B (p = ∞), since point B is the inflection point

Then,

an = Vb²/p =  Vb/∞ = 0

an = 0

At point C ( p = 80m)

an = Vc²/p = 13.89² / 80 = 2.41m/s²

an = 2.41 m/s²

Then,

The tangential force is

Ft = M•at

Ft = 1500 × 1.45

Ft = 2175 N.

Given that the tangential acceleration remains constant, this represents the tangential force at A, B, and C

Next, the normal force

At point A ( an = 1.93m/s²)

Fn = M•an

Fn = 1500 × 1.93

Fn = 2895 N

At point B (an=0)

Fn = M•an

Fn = 0 N

At point C (an= 2.41m/s²)

Fn = M•an

Fn = 1500 × 2.41

Fn = 3615 N.

Thus, the horizontal force acting at each point is

Using the right triangle vector method

F = √(Fn² + Ft²)

At point A

Fa = √(2895² + 2175²)

Fa = √13,111,650

Fa = 3621 N

At point B

Fb = √(0² + 2175²)

Fb = √2175²

Fb = 2175 N

At point C

Fc = √(3615² + 2175²)

Fc = √17,798,850

Fc = 4218.88 N

Fc ≈ 4219N

A uniform electric field of 2 kNC-1 is in the x-direction. A point charge of 3 μC initially at rest at the origin is released. W
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The force due to electricity on the charge is calculated by multiplying the charge by the intensity of the electric field:
F=qE
in our scenario, where q=3 \mu C= 3 \cdot 10^{-6} C and E=2 kN/C=2000 N/C, resulting in the force of
F=(3 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(2000 N/C)=0.006 N

Initially, the kinetic energy of the particle is at zero (as it remains stationary), which means its final kinetic energy is equal to the work performed by the electric force over a distance of x=4 m:
K(4 m)=W=Fd=(0.006 N)(4 m)=0.024 J

A ball is dropped from the top of a cliff. By the time it reaches the ground, all the energy in its gravitational potential ener
ValentinkaMS [3465]

The ball was released from a height of 20 meters

Explanation:

The scenario is as follows:

1. A ball drops from the edge of a cliff.

2. Upon reaching the ground, the energy held in its gravitational potential energy transforms entirely into kinetic energy.

   This implies K.E = P.E.

3. The ball impacts the ground at a speed of 20 m/s.

4. The gravitational field strength noted is 10 N/kg.

<pOur goal is to ascertain the height from which the ball was dropped.

<pSince the ball was dropped from a cliff, its initial velocity is 0.<p→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(v^{2}-v_{0}^{2})

where v is the final velocity, v_{0} is the initial velocity, and m is the mass.

<p→ v = 20 m/s and v_{0} = 0 m/s.<p→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(20^{2}-0^{2})

→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(400)

→ K.E = 200 m joules when the ball strikes the ground.

<p→ P.E = mg h

where g is the gravitational field strength, m is mass, and h signifies height.

<p→ g = 10 N/kg.<p→ P.E = m(10)(h)

→ P.E = 10m h joules.

<p→ P.E = K.E.

→ 10m h = 200 m.

Dividing through by 10m yields:

→ h = 20 meters.

The ball was released from a height of 20 meters.

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind
Yuliya22 [3333]

The speed resulting from the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Reasoning:

We can determine the plane's resultant speed using the Pythagorean Theorem because the two speeds form a right angle (creating a right triangle).

Thus, the computation is as follows:

ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}

ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}

Consequently, the plane's resultant speed is (3) 226 m/s

A charge of uniform volume density (40 nC/m3) fills a cube with 8.0-cm edges. What is the total electric flux through the surfac
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The flux across the cube's surface is 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C.

Solution:

According to the details provided:

Cube edge length, a = 8.0 cm = 8.0\times 10^{- 2}\ m.

Volume charge density, \rho_{v} = 40 nC/m^{3} = 40\times {- 9}\ C/m^{3}.

Now,

To find the electric flux:

\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_{o}}

where

\phi = electric flux

\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12}\ F/m = permittivity of vacuum.

The volume charge density for this scenario is described by:

\rho_{v} = \frac{Total\ charge, q}{Volume of cube, V}

Cube volume, V = a^{3}.

Thus,

V = (8.0\times 10^{- 2})^{3} = 5.12\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{3}.

The total charge can be derived from equation (2):

q = \rho_{v}V = 40\times {- 9}\times 5.12\times 10^{- 4}.

q = 2.048\times 10^{-11}\ F = 20.48\ pF.

Now, insert the value of 'q' into equation (1):

\phi = \frac{2.048\times 10^{-11}}{8.85\times 10^{- 12}} = 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. The geese fly 4.0 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40° and fly ano
serg [3582]

Answer:

(a). The distance traveled is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). Their displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

Explanation:

The information given states that,

The geese initially move 4.0 km directly west, then alter course to the north at a 40° angle, covering an additional 4.0 km.

Based on the diagram,

(a). To determine the distance

We will apply the distance formula

AD=AB+BD

Insert the values into the equation

D= 4+4.0\cos40^{\circ}

D=7.06\ km

The resultant distance is 7.06 km westward.

(b). We will find the total displacement's magnitude

Using the displacement formula

AC=\sqrt{(CD)^2+(AD)^2}

Insert the values into the equation

AC=\sqrt{(4.0\sin40)^2+(7.06)^2}

AC=7.51

The total displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

In conclusion, (a). The traveled distance is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). The magnitude of their total displacement is 7.51 km.
