Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?

If you're going really really slow and you hit the brakes, you're going to stop almost instantly. When you're going faster, you've got your energy which is your body size so it takes energy to stop the bike. When you slam the brake you're trying to apply that energy to the wheels. Even if you lock them up so the wheels aren't spinning, you skid because friction is rubbing against the ground and that will be what eventually stops you.

If you have a wider tire, you're going to have more surface area hitting the ground and that will cause more friction so you will stop faster. If you have skinnier tires you will skid more so there are a bunch of different factors.

Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

Answer:

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

$I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}$

Explanation:

The period of an oscillation equation of a solid pendulum is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}$ (1)

Where:

I is the moment of inertia
M is the mass of the pendulum
d is the distance from the center of mass to the pivot
g is the gravity

Let's solve the equation (1) for I

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}$

$I=Mgd(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}$

Before find I, we need to remember that

$T = \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.680}=1.47\: s$

Now, the moment of inertia will be:

$I=2*9.81*0.340(\frac{1.47}{2\pi})^{2}$

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

$I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}$

I hope it helps you!

Describe the climate, landforms,and existing plant and animal life during the cretaceous period

Fiesta28 [93]

The climate<span> was generally warmer and more humid than today, probably because of very active volcanism associated with unusually high rates of seafloor spreading.
</span><span>The first placental mammals appeared at the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous saw the rise and extinction of the toothed birds, Hesperornis and Ichthyornis. The earliest fossils of birds resembling loons, grebes, cormorants, pelicans, flamingos, ibises, rails, and sandpipers were from the Cretaceous.</span>

Which is a charcharacteristic of all ions?

ankoles [38]

An ion is created by the transfer of electrons. The metals give away the elections and become positively charged. The non - metals take on electrons.

Balance.

So an ion is any atom that either gives away or takes on electrons.

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the

REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s
