1. I am driving my 3500 pound weight car at 45 mph around a flat curve of radius 50 meters. If the us = 0.85, do I make it around the curve? (Y/N). It starts raining and the us drops to .65. Do I make it now? (Y/N). At that speed what is the kinetic energy of my car? Joules

Question
1. I am driving my 3500 pound weight car at 45 mph around a flat curve of radius 50 meters. If the us = 0.85,
do I make it around the curve?
(Y/N). It starts raining and the us drops to .65. Do I make it now?
(Y/N). At that speed what is the kinetic energy of my car?
Joules
2. Tom is doing a bucket lab with a mass of 5 kg of water. If he swings it 8 times around in 8 seconds and his
arm is 0.8 meters long, what centripetal force is the bucket putting on his shoulder?
Does the water fall on him?
Newtons.
_(Y/N). If he were on Mars (m-6.42*10^23 Kg, R=3397000 meters)
would he get wet?
3. You are working on a pumped storage facility design. You have a pond on top of a hill. You approximate the
pond as a cylinder with a diameter of 1500 feet and an average depth of 20 feet. The center of the pond is 300
feet above a river where you will let the pond full of water flow thru a turbine making electricity. What is the
GPE of the pond?
joules
