Technically as you drive around the world your normal force will
have to be less than your force of gravity so that you will have a
net force pointed toward the center of the earth. The radius of the
earth is about 6.3x106m.
a) If you are only driving at freeway speed (v = 29 m/s) in a 800
kg car what would the difference between your normal
force and force of gravity be?
b) How fast would you have to go in order to have your normal force
equal only half of you weight?
m/s
c) How fast would you have to go to have your normal for to become
zero?
d) Is it physicly possible to go fast enough that there is no nomal
force on your car? Explain

A ball rolls onto the path of your car as you drive down a quiet neighborhood street. To avoid hitting the child that runs to retrieve the ball, you apply your brakes for 1.40 s. The car slows down from that 15.0 m/s to 9.00 m/s. The mass of the car is 1140 kg. During the time the brakes were applied, what was the average force exerted on your car? How far did the car move while braking? The weight...
Which of the following would count as a centripetal force? (Choose All That Apply) The force of gravity causing the earth to travel in a circular path around the sun The tension in a rope as you swing a yo-yo in a circle over your head The force of friction from the seat on you as you travel around a curve while driving a car The normal force acting on a car as it drives in a circle All of...
You're driving your new Corvette convertible and can clearly hear other cars driving nearby. One of these cars honks their horn and your car, with its apps and sensors, displays the horn sound as 760Hz. Your Corvette also registers the car as a Mustang with a car horn of 795Hz. You are stopped at a stop light when their horn blares. Another of your Corvette apps measures the air temperature to be 26°C. a) What is the speed of sound...
Need all questions answered. Thank you 1. Driving around the Earth. The distance around the Earth is very nearly 25,000 miles. Imagine that you could drive a car at 60 miles per hour all the way around the Earth. How long would this take? Express your answer in days. 2. Driving to the Moon. The average distance between the Earth and Moon is 239,000 miles. At 60 mph, how long would a drive to the Moon take? Express your answer...
H . While you are driving , your car collides with a tree. If you were to collide with the steering wheel, you would not come to a stop instantly; your center of gravity would travel 0.0 1 m before you were brought to a stop. In this case, you would feel 16 ,000 N of force from th e steering wheel – enough to break many ribs. If the force on you were 800 N or less, you would...
The earth's magnetic field strength is 5.0x10^-5 T. How fast would you have to drive your car to create a 4.0 motional emf along your 1.0 -long radio antenna? Assume that the motion of the antenna is perpendicular to .
1. You're driving your new Tesla convertible and can clearly hear other cars driving nearby. One of these cars honks their horn and your car, with its fancy apps and sensors, displays the horn sound as 760Hz. Your Tesla also registers the car as a Ferrari with a car horn of 795Hz. You are stopped at a stop light when their horn blares. Another of your Tesla's apps measures the air temperature to be 26°C. a) What is the speed...
MULTIPLE CHOICE, Show your work in the space provided. Circle the correct answer 1. A person's heart beats 70 times a minute. Calculate the frequency? 2. Estimate the length of your leg (from foot to hip) in meters. Calculate your maximum walking speed? Assume acceleration due to gravity on earth to be 9.8 m/s. If you are vacationing on moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of that on earth, how fast can you walk? 3. A car...
*20. Imagine driving down a street toward a traffic light. How fast would you have to go so that the red light (700 nm) would appear green (500 nm)? What fraction of the speed of light c (c = 300,000 km/s) is this velocity?
Newton's Satellite Directions: Read the background information and complete the activity Newton's Thought Experiment In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton was studying the nature of motion and gravity. He formulated a thought experiment that would eventually become the basis of the development of satellites. Imagine an object is fired from a cannon horizontal to the plane of the earth. The projectile will travel in a horizontal direction and undergo projectile motion as gravity begins to pull the projectile downward....
