How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

60 mph?

Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

(a) When a battery is connected to the plates of a 8.00-µF capacitor, it stores a charge of 48.0 µC. What is the voltage of the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a.6 V

b.24 V

Explanation:

We are given that

a.C=8\mu F=8\times 10^{-6} F

1\mu =10^{-6}

Q=48\mu C=48\times 10^{-6} C

We know that

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Using the formula

V=\frac{48\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=6 V

b.Q=192\mu C=192\times 10^{-6} C

V=\frac{192\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=24 V
