When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s

So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s

He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time

d_1 = v* t

d_1 = 20 * 0.8

d_1 = 16 m

now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2

so the distance covered before it stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 20^2 = 2*(-7)*d_2

d_2 = 28.6 m

so the total distance covered by it

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 16 + 28.6 = 44.6 m

<em>so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m</em>

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1(a) 55.0°

1(b) 58.3°

2(a) 10.2 N

2(b) 2.61 m/s²

3(a) 76.7°

3(b) 12.8 m/s

3(c) 3.41 s

3(d) 21.8 m/s

3(e) 18.5 m

4(a) 7.35 m/s²

4(b) 31.3 m/s²

4(c) 12.8 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Draw a free body diagram on the beam.  There are five forces:

Weight force mg pulling down at the center of the beam,

Normal force Na pushing up at point A,

Friction force Na μa pushing left at point A,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline at point B,

Friction force Nb μb pushing up the incline at point B.

There are 3 unknown variables: Na, Nb, and θ.  So we're going to need 3 equations.

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-Na μa + Nb sin φ − Nb μb cos φ = 0

Nb (sin φ − μb cos φ) = Na μa

Nb / Na = μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Na + Nb cos φ + Nb μb sin φ − mg = 0

Na = mg − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Sum of torques about point B:

∑τ = Iα

-mg (L/2) cos θ + Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ = 0

mg (L/2) cos θ = Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ

mg cos θ = 2 Na cos θ − 2 Na μa sin θ

mg = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ

Substitute:

Na = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

0 = Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Na (1 − 2 μa tan θ) = Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

1 − 2 μa tan θ = (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

2 μa tan θ = 1 − (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Substitute again:

2 μa tan θ = 1 − [μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)] (cos φ + μb sin φ)

tan θ = 1/(2 μa) − (cos φ + μb sin φ) / (2 sin φ − 2 μb cos φ)

a) If φ = 70°, then θ = 55.0°.

b) If φ = 90°, then θ = 58.3°.

2) Draw a free body diagram of each mass.  For each mass, there are four forces.  For mass A:

Weight force Ma g pulling down,

Normal force Na pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Na μa pushing parallel down the incline,

Tension force T pulling parallel up the incline.

For mass B:

Weight force Mb g pulling down,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Nb μb pushing parallel up the incline,

Tension force T pulling up the incline.

There are four unknown variables: Na, Nb, T, and a.  So we'll need four equations.

Sum of forces on A in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Na − Ma g cos θ = 0

Na = Ma g cos θ

Sum of forces on A up the incline:

∑F = ma

T − Na μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

T − Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

Sum of forces on B in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Nb − Mb g cos φ = 0

Nb = Mb g cos φ

Sum of forces on B down the incline:

∑F = ma

-T − Nb μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

-T − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

Add together to eliminate T:

-Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Ma a + Mb a

g (-Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) − Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) = (Ma + Mb) a

a = -g (Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) + Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) / (Ma + Mb)

a = 2.61 m/s²

Plug into either equation to find T.

T = 10.2 N

3i) Given:

Δx = 3.7 m

vᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

t = 1.25 s

Find: v₀ₓ, v₀ᵧ

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

3.7 m = v₀ₓ (1.25 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.25 s)²

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (1.25 s) + v₀ᵧ

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

a) tan θ = v₀ᵧ / v₀ₓ

θ = 76.7°

b) v₀² = v₀ₓ² + v₀ᵧ²

v₀ = 12.8 m/s

3ii) Given:

Δx = D cos 57°

Δy = -D sin 57°

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

c) Find t

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

D cos 57° = (2.96 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

D cos 57° = 2.96t

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

-D sin 57° = (12.5 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

-D sin 57° = 12.5t − 5t²

Divide:

-tan 57° = (12.5t − 5t²) / 2.96t

-4.558t = 12.5t − 5t²

0 = 17.058t  − 5t²

t = 3.41 s

d) Find v

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 2.96 m/s

vₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-10 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 12.5 m/s

vᵧ = -21.6 m/s

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 21.8 m/s

e) Find D.

D cos 57° = 2.96t

D = 18.5 m

4) Given:

R = 90 m

d = 140 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 0.7t m/s²

The distance to the opposite side of the curve is:

140 m + (90 m) (π/2) = 281 m

a) Find Δx and v if t = 10.5 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (10.5)²

vt = 38.6 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (10.5)³

Δx = 135 m

The car has not yet reached the curve, so the acceleration is purely tangential.

at = 0.7 (10.5)

at = 7.35 m/s²

b) Find Δx and v if t = 12.2 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (12.2)²

vt = 52.1 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (12.2)³

Δx = 212 m

The car is in the curve, so it has both tangential and centripetal accelerations.

at = 0.7 (12.2)

at = 8.54 m/s²

ac = v² / r

ac = (52.1 m/s)² / (90 m)

ac = 30.2 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 31.3 m/s²

c) Given:

Δx = 187 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 3 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3 m/s²) (187 m)

v = 33.5 m/s

ac = v² / r

ac = (33.5 m/s)² / 90 m

ac = 12.5 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 12.8 m/s²

You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

0 Joules

Explanation:

The work done is given by

W=F\times s\times cos\theta

where,

F = Force applied

s = Displacement of the object = 0 m

\theta = Angle between the force applied and the horizontal = 0

W=F\times 0\times cos0\\\Rightarrow W=0\ J

Work is only observed when there is a displacement.

The work done by me is 0 Joules as I was unable to move it.

Which of these is the best explaination for why two negatively charged balloons move apart without ever touching?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hello, sorry this is a little late!

I believe the correct answer to your question would be option D, <span>electric charges have electric fields surrounding them to allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

I just took this test, and can 100% confirm this is the proper answer.

Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)</span>

Help with these three
Elenna [48]
The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
g = 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }
let's do it for this case:
f_{g}  = m \times g \\ f _{g}  = 65kg \times 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  = 637.65
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
f = m \times a \\ f = 65 \times 5 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  \\ f = 325n
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere
