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>

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b)  h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

       1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

       1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

       1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

        f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

       1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

       1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

       1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

       q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

       M = h ’/ h = - q / p

        h’= - q / p h

        h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

        h’= 0.05759 cm

        h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual

Derive the kinetic equations for Vmax and KM using the transit time and net rate constant method as discussed in class and follo
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Rate = vmax k3/k2+k3

Explanation:

The rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate is the maximum rate of reaction, is referred to as Vmax.

This is usually expressed as the Km ie. Michaelis constant of the enzyme, an inverse measure of affinity. For practical purposes, Km is the concentration of substrate which permits the enzyme to achieve half Vmax.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
