You're driving your pickup truck around a curve with a radius of 22 m. A box in the back of the truck is pressed up against the wall of the truck. How fast must you drive so that the force of the wall on the box equals the weight of the box?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Centrifugal force Fc = m x v2 / r

Weight  = mg

As required by the question

Fc = W

v2 /r = g

given radius r = 22 m

v2 /22 = 9.8

Solve for v

required speed v = √(22 * 9.8)

= 14.35 m/s

v=15 m/s

this may help you

The force of the wall on the box equals the weight of the box when you drive with a speed of 14.68 m/s.

What is centrifugal force?

The centrifugal force can be described as an inertial force that appears to act on all objects in a rotating frame of reference. This force is directed away from an axis that is parallel to the axis of rotation and passes through the coordinate system's origin.

The magnitude of centrifugal force of mass m at the distance r from the origin rotating with angular velocity ω is:

[tex]{\displaystyle F=m\omega ^{2}r}[/tex]

Given, the radius of the curve, r = 22m

The acceleration, a = v²/r

The weight of the box, W = mg

We know that, F = ma

mg = m(v²/r)

v = √gr

[tex]\displaystyle v =\sqrt{9.8 \times 22}[/tex]

v = 14.68 m/s

Therefore, you should drive at a speed of 14.68 m/s

18. What is the volume of a cubed object with a measure of 12cm on one of its sides, if
the mass of that same object is 45g and its density is 240g/cm3?
19. An object with a density of 3g/ml is placed into a body of water. Since the density of
water is 1g/ml, will this object sink or float.

Answers

This question is asking for five different questions about density, mass and volume which can be all summarized with the following definition of density as the degree of compactness of the objects taken into consideration:

[tex]\rho =\frac{m}{V}[/tex]

In such a way, we can proceed as follows:

15. the mass is given as 42 g and the volume can be found by multiplying the given dimensions:

[tex]V=2cm*6cm*7cm=84 cm^3[/tex]

And the density turns out to be:

[tex]\rho =\frac{42g}{84cm^3}=0.5 g/cm^3[/tex]

16. both mass and density are given as 17 g and 120 g/mL respectively, so that we have to solve for the volume as shown below:

[tex]V=\frac{m}{\rho} =\frac{17g}{120g/mL} =0.14 mL[/tex]

17. the mass is given as 23 g and the volume as 123 mL, so that the density is calculated as shown below:

[tex]\rho=\frac{23g}{123 mL} =0.19 g/mL[/tex]

Which can be converted to kg/mL as follows:

[tex]0.19\frac{g}{mL} *\frac{1kg}{1000g}=0.00019 kg/mL[/tex]

18. the mass is given as 45 g and the density as 240 g/cm³, so we can solve for the volume as follows:

[tex]V=\frac{m}{\rho} =\frac{45g}{240g/cm^3}=0.19 cm^3[/tex]

19. In this case, since the water has lower density than the object, we can infer that the latter is heavier than the former, this means that the object will sink according to the Archimedes principle.

A projectile with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second is launched from a building 190 feet tall. The path of the projectile is modeled using the equation h(t) = â€""16t2 48t 190. Approximately when will the projectile hit the ground? 1. 5 seconds 3. 2 seconds 5. 3 seconds 6. 2 seconds.

Answers

The time for the projectile to hit the ground from the given position is 1.5 s.

The given parameters:

Initial velocity of the projectile, u = 48 ft/sHeight, h = 190 ftModel of the projectile path, h(t)  = –16t² + 48t + 190.

The time for the projectile to hit the ground is calculated as follows:

when the projectile hits the ground, the final velocity = 0

[tex]v_f = 0\\\\\frac{dh(t)}{dt} = v_f\\\\\frac{dh(t)}{dt} = -32t + 48\\\\-32t+48 = 0\\\\32t = 48\\\\t = \frac{48}{32} \\\\t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]

Given an unknown metal using C= {Q/(M T)} with energy added of 8,000. J, in which the temperature goes from 24.0 C to 28.0 C at a mass of 46.0 g, find its specific heat capacity?​

Answers

Answer:

47.48 J/g/K or 4.74 × 10⁴J/Kg/K

Explanation:

C(specific heat capacity)= Q(quantity of heat)/M(mass) × ∆T(change in temperature, Kelvin)

Q= 8000J

M= 46g or 46 ×10^-3Kg

T1= 24°C = 297K

T2 = 28°C = 301K

∆T = 301-297

= 4K

C= 8000/46 × 4

= 47.48 J/g/K or 4.74 × 10⁴J/Kg/K

El. If a horizontally directed force of 40 N is used to pull a box a distance of 2.5 m across a tabletop. The formula to get the much work that will be done by the 40 - N force will be

Work done = force x distance

Work done = 40 x 2.5

Work done = 100 J

E2. If a woman does 160 J of work to move a table 4 m across the floor. We will use the same formula to calculate the magnitude of the force that the woman applied to the table assuming the force is applied in the horizontal direction.

Work done = force x distance

F = 160/4

Force F = 40 N

E3. Given that a force of 60 N used to push a chair across a room does 300 J of work. Same formula to get how far the chair move in this process.

Work done = force x distance

300 = 60 x distance

distance = 300/60

Distance = 5 m

Therefore, the chair moved 5m away.

and is swimming at a constant speed of 3.90 m/s towards the opposite end of the pool. What minimum
speed must the second swimmer have in order to catch up with the first swimmer by the end of the
pool?

Answers

The minimum  speed that the second swimmer must have in order to catch up with the first swimmer by the end of the  pool is; 4.04 m/s

We are given the following facts;

Both swimmers swim the same distance of 50 m for a leg of the relay race.Swimmer 1 swims at constant speed of 3.9 m/s. Swimmer 1 has a 0.450 second head start.

Formula for time taken is;

time = distance/speed

Time taken by swimmer 1 for one leg;

t₁ = 50/3.9

t₁ = 12.82 s

Since swimmer 1 has a head start of 0.45 s, then time that swimmer 2 must use in order to catch up is;

t₂ = 12.82 -0.45

t₂ = 12.37 s

Thus, speed of swimmer 2;

What is force?

A force is an effect that can alter an object's motion according to physics. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Gravitational force is directly proportional to product of mass and inversely proportional to product of distance between them. So, on increasing heaver mass greatest increase in the gravitational force.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The balanced equation tells us that 2 moles of N2O5 are required for every 1 mole of O2.  Therefore:

A 0.24 kg mass with a speed of 0.60 m/s has a head-on collision with a 0.26 kg mass that is traveling in the opposite direction at a speed of 0.20 m/s. Assuming that the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the final speed of the combined masses?

Answers

The final speed of the combined masses is 0.21 m/s

Applying the law of conservation of momentum:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

⇒ Formula:

MU+mu = V(M+m).................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

M = mass of the first bodym = mass of the second bodyU = Initial speed of the first bodyu = Initial speed of the second bodyV = common final speed.

From the question,

⇒ Given:

M = 0.24 kgU = 0.60 m/sm = 0.26 kgu = -0.20 m/s (traveling in opposite direction)

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

0.24(0.6)+0.26(-0.20) = V(0.24+0.2)

⇒ Solve for V

0.144-0.052 = 0.44V0.44V = 0.092V = 0.092/0.44V = 0.209V ≈ 0.21 m/s

2) What is the direction of the resulting velocity (relative to its initial direction)?

Answers

I found this online Idek if it helps but First, determine how many degrees off the runway heading the reported wind is. So if you’re landing Runway 18 and the wind is 160 at 10, the wind is 20 degrees off the runway (180-160=20) . Now picture an analog clock face. How far is the wind angle number in minutes around the clock face? A wind angle of 20 degrees means 20 minutes around the clock face, which is one-third of the way around the clock face The crosswind component is one-third of the total wind. In this example, 10 knots * 1/3 = 3.3 knots of crosswind.

If you like charts, you can lay out common numbers and interpolate between them:

10-degree wind angle 10 minutes, which is 1/6 around clockface crosswind = 1/6 * total wind
15-degree wind angle 15 minutes, which is 1/4 around clockface crosswind = 1/4 * total wind
20-degree wind angle 20 minutes, which is 1/3 around clockface crosswind = 1/3 * total wind
30-degree wind angle 30 minutes, which is 1/2 around clockface crosswind = 1/2 * total wind
45-degree wind angle 45 minutes, which is 3/4 around clockface crosswind = 3/4 * total wind
60-degree wind angle or more 60 minutes, which is 100 percent of the way around a clockface crosswind component ≈ total wind speed
