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

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s
