The coefficient of friction between the road and the car's tire is determined as 0.78.

<h3>Acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = u² - 2as

a = u²/2s

where;

u is the initial velocity = 97 km/h = 26.94 m/s

a = (26.94)²/(2 x 47)

a = 7.72 m/s²

<h3>Coefficient of friction</h3>

μ = a/g

μ = (7.72)/9.8

μ = 0.78

Pascal has 96 miles remaining to complete his cycling trip. If he reduced his current speed by 4 miles per hour, the remainder o

Verdich [7]

Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance = d = 96 miles

Lets call Pascal velocity V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by 50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V = d/ t₁ ⇒ 1.5 * V = 96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 ) ⇒ V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁ (1)

V*t₁ + 16*V = 384 (2)

We solve from equation (1) t₁ = 64/V

And by substitution in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64 + 16 *V = 384 ⇒ 16*V = 320 ⇒ V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

What is the difference between a partial and total lunar eclipse?

storchak [24]

Answer:

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon and sun are on the exact opposite sides of the Earth, leaving the moon entirely in the Earth's shadow. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the moon is in the Earth's shadow.

As an aid in working this problem, consult Interactive Solution 3.41. A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 20.0

alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

$Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s$

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

$t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s$

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

$Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s$

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

$V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s$

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car

juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

$a = \frac{-F}{m}$

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion
