A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road that can be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 54.5 m. While on the curve, the speed of the car is 12.4 m/s at the instant the briefcase starts to slide across the backseat toward the side of the car. What force causes the centripetal acceleration of the briefcase when it is stationary relative to the car? Under what condition does the briefcase begin to move relative to the car?

1.in one challenge on the titan games, competitors have to lift 200 pounds up a long ramp. angel is able to move the weight in 42 seconds. anthony gets it done in only 38 seconds. which statement is true? angel has more power than anthony. angel does more work than anthony. anthony does more work than angel. anthony has more power than angel. 2.a mountain climber exerts 41,000 j of work to climb a cliff. how much power does the climber need if she wants to finish in only 500 seconds? power = work / time 20,500,000 watts 82 watts 0.0122 watts 41,500 watts 3.your family is moving to a new apartment. while lifting a box 83 joules of work is done to put the box on a truck, you exert an upward force of 75 n for 3 s. how much power is required to do this? (hint: you only need two of the 3 numbers given! ) power = work / time 249 watts 25 watts 2075 watts 27.7 watts

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to

Suppose that a cylindrical tank 6 meters high with a radius of 2 meters is filled to the rim with water. the tank is buried so that the top of the tank is 1 meter below ground level. the space above the tank is not filled with water. calculate how much work needs to be done by a pump to pump the water out of the tank up to ground level. (the water weighs 9,800 newtons per cubic meter.)
