Answer:

0.34

Explanation:

2.5 Mg = 2500 kg

The change in speed from 100 km/h to 40 km/h is

\Delta v = 100 - 40 = 60 km/h = 60 * 1000 / (60 * 60) = 16.67 m/s

The deceleration caused by friction force is the change in speed per unit of time

a = \Delta v / \Delta t = 16.67 / 5 = 3.33 m/s^2

Using Newton 2nd law we can calculate the friction force that caused this deceleration:

F = ma = 2500 * 3.33 = 8333 N

Let g = 9.8m/s2. Friction force is the product of normal (gravity) force and friction coefficient

F = mg\mu

8333 = 2500*9.8\mu

\mu = \frac{8333}{2500 * 9.8} = 0.34

What is difference between non uniform and uniform circular motion?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.

Explanation:

The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 31 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration? (Remem
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.

The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:

A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.

In this case, we have:

initial velocity = 31 m/s

final velocity = 15 m/s

time = 8 seconds.

Then the average acceleration is:

A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2
