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

2 answers:

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).

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.

What is the conductor's resistance if its length is 2m and has a cross-sectional area of 0.7m with a resistivity of4Ωm? a. 1.4 Ω

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The answer is c. 11.42 Ohm

Explanation:

The conductor's resistance is calculated by the formula in the figure.

So, you have to replace the given values into the formula.

Resistance of a conductor is equal to the product of rho by the lengh of the conductor divided the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

$R= 4 ohm.m . (2m/o.7m^{2} )\\R=11.42ohm$

Calculate the maximal friction force for a parked car between the rubber tires and a wet street. Assume the car’s mass is 1600 k

NikAS [45]

Answer:

$Fr=12544N$

Explanation:

1. Find the equation of eht maximal friction force:

The maximal friction force is given by the equation $Fr=usmg$ , where μs is the static friction coefficient, m is the car´s mass and g is the gravitational force.

2. Replace values in the equation to find the answer:

$Fr=0.8*1600kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$Fr=12544N$
