The net force on the car for either case will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>Net force on the car</h3>

The net force on the car is the sum of all the forces acting on the car.

∑F = ma

<h3>When the car is on a level road</h3>

When the car is on a level road, the only two forces acting on the car is the applied force and frictional force of the road.

F - Ff = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>When the car is on uphill</h3>

The forces acting on the car at the uphill is the applied force, weight of the car acting downwards and the frictional force acting opposite direction.

F - Wsinθ - μFₙcosθ = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

The state of strain at a point is plane strain with εx = ε0, εy = –2ε0, γxy = 0, where ε0 is a positive constant. What is the no

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The normal strain along an axis oriented 45° from the positive x axis in the clockwise direction is -ε₀/2

Explanation:

Given that

$\epsilon_{x}=\epsilon_{o}\\\\\epsilon_{y}=-2\epsilon_{o}\\\\\gamma_{xy}=0\\\\\theta=-45^{o}\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=?$

From equation of normal strain in x direction:

$\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\epsilon_{x}cos^{2}\theta+\epsilon_{y}sin^{2}\theta+\gamma_{xy{ sin\theta cos\theta$

Substituting the values:

$\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\epsilon_{o}cos^{2}(-45)-2\epsilon_{o}sin^{2}(-45)+0\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}-2\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=-\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}$

Why is it incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water?

lesya [120]

It is incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water because based on the density of the water it can actually cause the "heavy object" to float, out weighing it.

3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2ad$ (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

$F=ma=-\mu mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\mu = 0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

$a=-\mu g$

And we can substitute it into eq.(1) to find d:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2(\-mu g) d\\d= \frac{v^2-u^2}{-2 \mu g}=\frac{0-(24 m/s)^2}{-2(0.80)(9.8 m/s^2)}=36.7 m \sim 37 m$

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?

ivann1987 [24]

When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.
