Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is <u>0.833</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

f=\mu N

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

N=mg

Therefore, frictional force, f=\mu mg

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is  v  =  350 \  m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of separation is  d =  4.00 m  

  The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is  I =  5.00 m

  The change in the distance of the speaker is by k  =  60 cm  =  0.6 \  m

    The frequency of both speakers is f =  700 \  Hz

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

       L_1  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}

       L_1  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}

        L_1  =   5.39 \  m

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is  

          L_2  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}

       L_2  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}

        L_2  =   5.64  \  m  

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

        pD  = L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \lambda}{2}

Here \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

         \lambda =  \frac{v}{f}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \frac{v}{f}}{2}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

Here n is the order of the maxima with  value of  n =  1  this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=>    5.64 - 5.39   =  \frac{1  *  v}{2*700}      

=>    v  =  350 \  m/s

Aliens? do you believe?<br><br>To get the points go into detail :)
zzz [600]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are so many planets out there that there must be habitable planets if not in our galaxy but the Universe.

Although the chances of advanced life are slim, small primitive life like microbes or sea life may still exist.

where σ(t) and σ(0) represents the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time =0) stresses, respectively, and t and τ denote elapsed
lesya [120]

Answer:

E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa

Explanation:

\epsilon = Strain = 0.49

\sigma _0 = 3.1 MPa

At t = Time = 32 s \sigma = 0.41 MPa

\tau = Time-independent constant

Stress relation with time

\sigma=\sigma _0exp\left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)

at t = 32 s

0.41=3.1exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)\\\Rightarrow exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)=\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{32}{\tau}=ln\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow \tau=-\frac{32}{ln\frac{0.41}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \tau=16.0787\ s

The time independent constant is 16.0787 s

E_{r}(t)=\frac{\sigma(t)}{\epsilon_0}

At t = 6

\\\Rightarrow E_{r}(6)=\frac{\sigma(6)}{\epsilon_0}

From the first equation

\sigma(t)=\sigma _0exp\left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)\\\Rightarrow \sigma(6)=3.1exp\left(-\frac{6}{16.0787}\right)\\\Rightarrow \sigma(6)=2.13451

E_r(6)=\frac{2.13451}{0.49}\\\Rightarrow E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa

E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa

What potential increase vac must an electron be accelerated through if the most energetic photon it can emit will scatter off of
nikitadnepr [17]
Referring to Compton scattering 
Δλ = h/m₀c (I- cos Ф)
λ' =λ = (0,0242×10⁻¹⁰) (1- cos 60°)
λ= λ' -(0.0242 × 10⁻¹⁰) (1- cos 60°)

7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m

The increased potential is given by 
Vₐc = hc/eλ = 6.625 × 10 ⁻³⁴ J,s) ( 3× 10⁸ m/s ( 1.6 ˣ 10 ⁻¹⁰C)
(7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m)
