Question
Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1 800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 19.6 m (a) If the car travels at 25.0 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump? magnitude N direction (b) What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point?

The block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest 8 meters from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is an 8-newton force of friction on the block while it slides horizontally. Assume g = 10 meters per second2. a) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block while it slides along the horizontal plane. b) What time elapses while the block is sliding horizontally? c) Calculate the radius of the incline in meters.arrow_forward

The stone completes one full circle every second; and the magnitude of the tension in the string is F-. What happens to the tension in the string if the stone speeds up such that it goes around the circle twice every second while the radius stays the same. O The magnitude of the tension increases to twice its original value. O The magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value. O The magnitude of the tension reduces to one-fourth of its original value. O The magnitude of the tension is unchanged.

- A ball is on the end of a string. The ball is being swung in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The length of the string is 1.25 m. The mass of the ball is 2.10 kg. The maximum tension the string can withstand is 61.0 N. What is the max speed of the ball without breaking the string when the ball is at the top of the circle (point a)?arrow_forwardRising fast ball. A batter in a baseball game will sometimes describe a pitch as being a rising ball, termed a hop. Although technically possible, such upward motion would require a large backspin on the ball so that an aerodynamic force would lift the ball. More likely, a rising ball is an illusion stemming from the batter's misjudgment of the ball's initial speed. The distance between the pitching rubber and home plate is 60.5 ft. If a ball is thrown horizontally with no spin, how far does it drop during its flight if the initial speed vo is (a) 36 m/s (slow, about 80 mi/h) and (b) 43 m/s (fast, about 95 mi/h)? (c) What is the difference in the two displacements? (d) If the batter anticipates the slow ball, will the swing be below the ball or above it?
