You slam on the brakes of your car in a panic and skid a distance X on a straight, level road. If you had been traveling half as

fast under the same road conditions, you would have skidded a distance

Physics

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The required skidded distance would be one-forth of the distance skidded if the velocity of the car becomes half.

Explanation:

If 'v_{0}' be the velocity of the car where the brakes are slammed on and 'a' be the constant deceleration gained by the car before coming to stop after skidding a distance 'X' at time 't' where final velocity 'v_{t} = 0', then as can be seen from the figure,

&& v_{t} = v_{0} - a~t\\&or,& 0 = v_{0} - a~t\\&or,& t = \dfrac{v_{0}}{a}

If from any arbitrarily chosen point 'O', 'x_{0}' be the distance where the brakes are slammed on and 'x_{t}' be the distance from the same point 'O' where the car stops, then

&& x_{t} = \int\limits^t_0 {v_{t}} \, dt\\        = \int\limits^t_0 ({v_{0} - a~t}) \, dt\\  = v_{0}~t - \dfrac{1}{2}~a~t^{2} + x_{0}\\\\&or,& x_{t} - x_{0} =  v_{0}~t - \dfrac{1}{2}~a~t^{2}\\&or,& X = v_{0}~\dfrac{v_{0}}{a} - \dfrac{a}{2}(\dfrac{v_{0}}{a})^{2}\\&or,& X = \dfrac{v_{0}^{2}}{a}

Now if the car would have been moving with a velocity '\dfrac{v_{0}}{2}' and would have been skidding a distance 'Y', then from the above equation substituting the velocity we can have

Y = \dfrac{X}{4}

So, if the car were moving at half as fast under the same road conditions, it would have skidded by a distance which is one-forth of the present skidded distance.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

Climate and weather are related but different. Which of the following describes the climate of a place?
iren2701 [21]

Climate. What does it mean?

<em>Climate is a long-term weather, or recurring every time. Examples of climate? </em><u><em>Every day, the desert is hot the day and cold in the night.</em></u><em> This won't change, at least for hundreds, thousands, millions of years. This is climate.</em>

Weather. What does it mean?

<em>Weather is short-term, usually not recurring every time. Examples of weather? </em><u><em>Today is very sunny.</em></u><em> This will change-for all we know, tomorrow will be cloudy and rainy!</em>

<em />

This is why your answer will <u>NOT</u> be a meteorologist predicts that tomorrow will be sunny and warm. This is weather, because it is only <em>tomorrow.</em>

<em />

This is why your answer will <u>NOT</u> be fertile soil makes farms in the region very productive. This does not relate to weather, or climate.

This is why your answer will <u>NOT</u> be the temperature dropped below freezing every night last week. This will only be "last week", not the week right now or the week after this week.

<em><u>Therefore, your answer is "Thunderstorms frequently occur in the summer. </u></em>This is because that's the climate in that part- thunderstorms always happen.

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen nuclei, each of massm= 2.7×10−26kg,separated by a distance 1.2×10−10m, and surrounded
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

, b)   I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia of point masses is

                 I = m r²

   

The nuclei have a very small size (10-15 m) so we can consider them punctual.

The distance to the center of mass passing through the middle of the two nuclei of equal mass

       r = 0.6 10⁻¹⁰ m

The moment of total inertia

       I = I₁ + I₂ = 2 I₀

       I = 2 2.7 10⁻²⁶ (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)²

       I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

The kinetic energy of the rotation is

      w = h / 2π

      K = ½ I w²

      K = ½ 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ (h / 2π)² = ½ 1.944 10⁻⁴⁶ (6.63 10⁻³⁴ / 2π)²

      K = 2.16 10⁻¹¹⁴ J (1eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

      K = 2.16 10⁻⁹⁵ eV

B) the moment of inertia of the electron in the orbit, we can calculate it with the parallel axis theorem

       I =I_{cm} + m R²

       I = m_{e} r² +  m_{e} R²

Where R we calculate it by Pythagoras

      R² = (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)² + (0.5 10⁻¹⁰) 2

      R = √ (0.61 10⁻²⁰)

      R = 0.78 10⁻¹⁰ m

      I = 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.5 10⁻¹⁰)² + 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.78 10⁻¹⁰)²

      I = (2,275 +5.54) 10⁻⁵¹

      I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

The rotation energy of the electron

      K = ½ I w²

If the angular velocity is the electrons outside the core, its kinetic energy is much lower by an order 10⁵, but the angular velocity of the electrons is much higher.

At the same moment, one rock is thrown upward at 4.5 m/s and another thrown downward at 6.2 m/s. What is the relative velocity o
erastova [34]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) -10.7 m/s 

In fact, the first rock is moving upward with velocity +4.5 m/s, while the second rock is moving downward with velocity -6.2 m/s, with respect to a fixed reference frame. In the reference frame of the first rock, instead, the second rock is moving with velocity equal to its velocity in the fixed frame minus the velocity of the reference frame of the first rock:
</span>v=-6.2 m/s -(+4.5 m/s) = -10.7 m/s<span>
