Answer:
Normal Force is usually perpendicular to the movement and static friction usually means that there is no movement.
Explanation:
The work donde by any force on an object is equal to the displacement of the object multiplied by the component of the force that is in the direction of the displacement.
Normal force is usually perpendicular to the movement, so there is no component in the direction of the displacement. This is why it is zero in most circumstances.
<em>Static</em> friction on the other hand, usually means that there is no movement at all (it's static). It means that there is no displacement between the object and ground (in most cases). If there is no displacement, there is no work.
Answer:
4.17 m/s²
Explanation:
We are told the reaction time is 0.2 s. Now, during this reaction time the car is going to travel an additional distance of
: x = u × t = 40 × 0.2 = 8 m
where u is the initial velocity of the car which is 40.0 m/s.
We are told that he had 200 m to stop before applying brakes. Thus, after applying brakes, he now has a distance to cover of; s = 200 - 8 = 192 m
Since vehicle is coming to rest acceleration would be negative, thus using Newton's equation of motion, we have;
v
² = u² - 2as
v = 0 m/s since it's coming to rest
u = 40 m/s
s = 192 m
Thus;
0² = 40² - 2(a)(192)
0² = 1600 - 384a
a = 1600/384
a = 4.17 m/s²
Mass/volume is the formulae
