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

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

Pls help<br> What graph indicates no reference to direction of motion, and explain why.
Komok [63]

Answer:

graph A

Explanation:

the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)

but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)

Four aqueous solutions and their concentrations are shown in the above illustration. which of the solutions is most likely to be
Elza [17]
The solution that would most likely be a strongest conductor of electricity is the solution that is most saturated or concentrated. This is because the atoms that are found within the aqueous solutions have become positively charged resulting to the attraction of negatively charged ions that are found in electricity. On the other hand, the least conductive from the aqueous solutions would be the most unsaturated one because of less conductive ions present.

forsale [732]
We need to consider no change in the temperature of gas (isothermal transformation)

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional magnitudes, so we can write:

P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2\\&#10;\\&#10;9.20=5.V_2\\&#10;\\&#10;V_2=\frac{180}{5}=36 \ m^3

When we go up From the earth surface.what happens about the atmospheric pressure​
topjm [15]

Answer:

There are two reasons why air pressure decreases as altitude increases: density and depth of the atmosphere. Most gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled close to Earth's surface by gravity, so gas particles are denser near the surface.
