Tilting trains, such as the American Flyer which will run from Washington to New York and Boston, are designed to travel
safely at high speeds on curved sections of track which were
built for slower, conventional trains. As it enters a curve, each
car is tilted by hydraulic actuators mounted on its trucks. The
tilting feature of the cars also increases passenger comfort by
eliminating or greatly reducing the side force Fs (parallel to the
floor of the car) to which passengers feel subjected. For a train
traveling at 100 mi/h on a curved section of track banked through
an angle u 5 6° and with a rated speed of 60 mi/h, determine
(a) the magnitude of the side force felt by a passenger of weight W
in a standard car with no tilt (f 5 0), (b) the required angle
of tilt f if the passenger is to feel no side force. (See Sample

After the near spacecraft passed mathilde, on several occasions rocket propellant was expelled to adjust the spacecraft's momentum in order to follow a path that would approach the asteroid eros, the final destination for the mission. after getting close to eros, further small adjustments made the momentum just right to give a circular orbit of radius 45 km (45 × 10^3 m) around the asteroid. so much propellant had been used that the final mass of the spacecraft while in circular orbit around eros was only 545 kg. the spacecraft took 1.04 days to make one complete circular orbit around eros. calculate what the mass of eros must be.

The pressure increases by 1.0 x 104 n/m^2 for every meter of depth beneath the surface of the ocean. at what depth does the volume of a pyrex (bulk modulus 2.6 x 1010n/m^2) glass cube, 9.8 x 10^−2m on an edge at the ocean's surface, decrease by 7.5 x 10−10m^3? explain the formula beyond this point: p=1.0x10^4, b=2.6x10^10, l=9.8x10^−2, delta v=7.5x10^−10. at some point l needs to be cubed. why p is divided by delta v?
