Answer:
mu = 0.56
Explanation:
The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:
v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)
v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h
= 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s
x: distance = 25m
BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:
with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:
Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:
hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56
Explanation:
The deeper the sediment layer above bedrock, the more soft soil there is for the seismic waves to travel through. Soft soil means bigger waves and stronger amplification. The earthquake damage to this building may have been influenced by the type of soil it's sitting on.
Density = mass / volume
D = 89 / 10.0
D = 8.9 g/cm³
