Answer:

The car's skid marks will be 25.4842 m long.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

Force = Mass × acceleration due to car

Also, The formula for frictional force,

Frictional force = μ × Normal Force

Also, Normal force = mass × acceleration due to gravitation(g)

So,

Frictional force = μ × mass × g

The two forces acting horizontally on the tire in opposite directions. So,

Mass × acceleration due to car = μ × mass × g

Solving,

Acceleration due to car = μ × mass × g

Given,

μ = 0.80

Also, 9.81 ms⁻²

So,

Acceleration due to car = 7.848 ms⁻²

Considering the Equation of motion as:

v² = u² - 2.a.s

Brakes are applied ad the car stops. The final velocity of the car (v) = 0 ms⁻¹

Given: Initial velocity of car (u) = 20 ms⁻¹

Acceleration, above calculated = 7.848 ms⁻²

Applying in the equation to calculate the distance as:

(0)² = (20)² - 2×(7.848)×s

So, Distance:

s=\frac{400}{2\times 7.848}

<u>s = 25.4842 m</u>

<u>The skid marks are 25.4842 m long.</u>

A magnetic field is passing through a loop of wire whose area is 0.020 m2. The direction of the magnetic field is parallel to th
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a) E = 0.0048 Volts

b)  dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Explanation:

Given:

Area, A = 0.020 m²

Rate of change of magnetic field, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

a) The magnitude of the emf induced (E) is given as:

  E= A × (dB/dt)

  on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

E = (0.020 m²) × (0.24 T/s)

or

E = 0.0048 Volts

b) Now, The induced emf when both the area and the magnetic field is varying

we have

E = B(dA/dt) + A(dB/dt)

Now, for the given case induced emf is zero i.e E = 0 and magnetic field B = 2.1 T

thus,

0 = (2.1 T)(dA/dt) + (0.020 m2)(0.24 T/s)

dA/dt = - 0.002285 m²/s

Hence, the area should be decreased at the rate of 0.002285 m²/s

A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum-foil sheets, each 5.9 cm wide and 5.6 m long. Between the sheets is a Teflo
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

1.98 x 10⁻⁷ F

Explanation:

w = width of the sheet = 5.9 cm = 0.059 m

L = length of the sheet = 5.6 m

Area of the sheet is given as

A = L w = (5.6) (0.059) = 0.3304 m²

d = distance between the sheets = 3.1 x 10⁻⁵ m

k = dielectric constant of teflon = 2.1

Capacitance is given as

C = \frac{k\epsilon _{o}A}{d}

C = \frac{(2.1)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(0.3304)}{3.1\times 10^{-5}}

C = 1.98 x 10⁻⁷ F
