    Radius Track
AI Thread Summary
To find the radius of a circular track given a distance of 745 m and an angle of 475°, the angle must first be converted to radians. The problem is identified as a pre-calculus math question rather than a physics one. Users are reminded to follow forum rules when posting homework problems. The lack of a figure complicates the understanding of the problem. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clarity and adherence to guidelines in seeking help.

This porblem has been killing me. It's the last question that I have left on my homework assignment and it is due tonight at midnight.

The car in the figure below travels a distance of 745 m along the track, and the driver finds that she has traveled through an angle of 475°. What is the radius of the track?

Please help!

Uh ... what track is that? (No figure included). Is it a circular track?
 
It is a circular track
 
This is a pre-calculus math problem, rather than an Introductory Physics problem. How many radians are there in 475 degrees?
 
You really should read the forum rules on how to post homework problems and follow them.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
