A racing driver negotiates a corner of radius 20 m at a speed of 8.5 m/s on level ground without slipping. The mass of the car is 600 kg and that of the driver is 91 kg. a. Calculate the total frictional force acting on the wheels as the corner is made. b. After this, the driver then negotiates a corner, which is banked at 30 degrees to the horizontal. The radius of this circular path is also 20 m....

A solid wood fence ran through the middle of the land, separating the property into approximately equal east and west parcels. The trespasser began grazing cattle on the west parcel; no one else has been in possession of any other...

Out of 50 students surveyed in a study: 35 are undergraduates in which there are 20 from NY, and 15 are graduate students in which there are 5 from NY. What is the probability that if a student surveyed is an undergraduate OR he/she is from NY? P(Ungrad and from NY) = 20/50 P(from NY) = 25/50 P(Undegraduate or from NY) = 35/50+25/50 - 20/50 = 40/50 P(Ungrad) = 35/50 P(Undegraduate | from NY) = 20/25 Out of 50 students...
