Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was

μs = 1. around 1962, three companies independently developed racing tires with coefficients of 1.6. this problem shows that tires have improved further since then. the shortest time interval in which a piston-engine car initially at rest has covered a distance of one-quarter mile is about 4.43 s. ]

This problem is looking for the minimum value of μs that is necessary to achieve the record time. To solve this problem:


Assuming the front wheels are off the ground for the entire ¼ mile = 402.3 m, the acceleration a = µs·9.8 m/s².


For a constant acceleration, distance = 402.3


m = 1/2at^2 = 804.6 m / (4.43 s)^2 = a = µs·9.8 m/s^2



µs = 804.6 m / (4.43s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.18

How does the hydraulic garage lift helps to lift heavy weights?Explain in you words don't copy (write in the easiest way you cou
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

this the way that hydraulic pump works:

The system of hydraulic jack lifts the heavy objects by transferring the oil from one chamber to another.

Through the suction valves into the two cylinders which creates pressure distributing the fluid equally to the points causing the objects to lift up.

If a metal ball suspended by a rod is at rest, which force is responsible for balancing the force due to gravity?
Viktor [21]

There are different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force, normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the object.

6. Aaron will run from home at y mph and walk back at x mph. how much distance does he need to travel to spend a total of t hour
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Total distance, d=\dfrac{xyt}{(x+y)}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of Aaron from home is y mph and walk back at x mph. Let t is the total time he spend in walking and jogging. Let d is the distance covered.

We he moves from home to destination, time is equal to, \dfrac{d}{x}

Similarly, when he move back to home, time taken is equal to \dfrac{d}{y}

Total time taken is equal to :

\dfrac{d}{x}+\dfrac{d}{y}=t

d(\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{y})=t

d=\dfrac{t}{(\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{y})}

d=\dfrac{xyt}{(x+y)}

So, the distance he speed in walking and jogging is \dfrac{xyt}{(x+y)}. Hence, this is the required solution.
