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

?s = 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. (A) Assume the car's rear wheels lift the front wheels off the pavement as shown in the figure above. What minimum value of ?s is necessary to achieve the record time?

Answer:

4.18

Explanation:

Givens  

The car's initial velocity  v_{i}= 0 and covering a distance Δx = 1/4 mi = 402.336 m in a time interval t = 4.43 s.  

Knowns

We know that the maximum static friction force is given by:

f_{s_max} =μ_s*n                         (1)

Where μ_s is the coefficient of static friction and n is the normal force.  

Calculations  

(a) First, we calculate the acceleration needed to achieve this goal by substituting the given values into a proper kinematic equation as follows:

Δx=v_{i} +\frac{1}{2} at^2

a=41 m/s

This is the acceleration provided by the engine. Applying Newton's second law on the car, so in equilibrium, when the car is about to move, we find that:  

f_{y}=n-mg=0\\ n=mg\\f_{x}=F-f_{s,max} =0\\ f_{s,max}=F=ma\\

Substituting (3) into (1), we get:

f_{s,max}= μ_s*m*g

Equating this equation with (4), we get:

ma=  μ_s*m*g

 μ_s=a/g

      =4.18

What happens when the density of a medium increases
Anvisha [2.4K]
We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

A 10v battery is connected in series with 2 resistors. R1 is 1 ohm and R2 is 4 ohms. What is the current that goes across R1?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Current in circuit = 2 amp

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage of battery = 10 V

First Resistance R1 = 1 ohm

Second Resistance R2 = 4 ohm

Resistor connected in series

Find:

Current in circuit

Computation;

Resistor connected in series

So,

Total resistance R = First Resistance R1 + Second Resistance R2

Total resistance R = 1 ohm + 4 ohm

Total resistance R = 5 ohm

Current in circuit = V / R

Current in circuit = 10 / 5

Current in circuit = 2 amp
