Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Therefore, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.

Although, electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

A 2000 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed vo

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Explanation:

In this case we see that driver use the brakes to stop the car by means of kinetic friction force. Deceleration of the car is directly proportional to kinetic friction coefficient and can be determined by Second Newton's Law:

$\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a$ (Eq. 1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g = 0$ (Eq. 2)

After quick handling, we get that deceleration experimented by the car is equal to:

$a = -\mu_{k}\cdot g$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$a$ - Deceleration of the car, measured in meters per square second.

$\mu_{k}$ - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $\mu_{k} = 0.0735$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then deceleration of the car is:

$a = -(0.0735)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The stopping distance of the car ( $\Delta s$ ), measured in meters, is determined from the following kinematic expression:

$\Delta s = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$ (Eq. 4)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 15.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , stopping distance of the car is:

$\Delta s = \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(15.9\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s = 175.319\,m$

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

An external, frictionless pin only prevents rotation. A. True B. False

stepan [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The roller displacement at an external, friction less rotation pin is found to be zero as it has a support which is no-yielding but still provides rotation to the object where as at an external pin a shear force is present and the moment is absent which means that at an external pin its not the rotation that is absent but its the moment which comes out to be zero.
