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

What are Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion?
Likurg_2 [28]
The first law is that every object stay at rest or stay in uniform motion in a straight line until it is forced to change its state by the action of an external force. This law is called law of inertia.

The second law is that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables. the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.  F= ma or force is equal to mass times acceleration. This law is known as the law of force and acceleration.  

The third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  every interaction there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. the size of forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. 

Hope this helps :) 

can you please make this the brainliest answer it would really help . Thanks

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?
astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)

At resonance, what is impedance of a series RLC circuit? less than R It depends on many other considerations, such as the values
denis23 [38]

Answer:

at resonance impedence is equal to resistance and quality factor is dependent on R L AND C all

Explanation:

we know that for series RLC circuit impedance is given by

Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( X_L-X_C \}right )^2

but we know that at resonance X_L=X_C  

putting  X_L=X_C in impedance formula , impedance will become

Z=R so at resonance impedance of series RLC is equal to resistance only

now quality factor of series resonance is given by

Q=\frac{\omega L}{R}=\frac{1}{\omega CR}=\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}  so from given expression it is clear that quality factor depends on R L and C
