Estimated speed of the vehicle

Really, Gundy ? ! ?

The formula for the car's speed is given and discussed in the box.  The formula is

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

Then they <em>tell</em> you that μ is 0.750 , and then they <em>tell</em> you that d = 52.9 m .  Also, everybody knows that 'g' is gravity = 9.8 m/s² .

They also tell us that the mass of the car is 1,000 kg, and they tell us that it took 3.8 seconds to skid to a stop.  But we already <em>have</em> all the numbers in the formula <em>without</em> knowing the car's mass or how long it took to stop.  The police don't need to weigh the car, and nobody was there to measure how long the car took to stop.  All they need is the length of the skid mark, which they can measure, and they'll know how fast the guy was going when he hit the brakes !

Now, can you take the numbers and plug them into the formula ? ! ?

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

v = √( 2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.75 · 52.9 m)

v = √( 777.63 m²/s²)

v = 27.886 m/s

Rounded to 3 digits, that's  <em>27.9 m/s </em>.

That's about 62.4 mile/hour .

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N

Weight of the craft

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N

Thrust

F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

The speed of the wave depends on what?
kolbaska11 [484]

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .
