A car skids to a stop, leaving four skid marks with an average length of 60 feet. The road is asphalt. Skid tests reveal a drag

factor of 0.75. Since all four wheels were braking, the braking efficiency is 100% or 1.00. To the nearest mile per hour, what was the car’s speed at the time of the accident.

Answer:

37 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of forces on the car in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of forces on the car in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-Nμ = ma

-mgμ = ma

-gμ = a

Given μ = 0.75 and g = 32 ft/s²:

a = -(32 ft/s²) (0.75)

a = -24 ft/s²

Use kinematics to find the initial velocity.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 ft/s)² = v₀² + 2 (-24 ft/s²) (60 ft)

v₀ ≈ 53.7 ft/s

v₀ ≈ 37 mph

two pumps of different sizes, working together, can empty a fuel tank in 3 hours. the larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours
bonufazy [111]
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.

The mass of a certain window is 18kg. What is the mass of 5 of those windows?
Daniel [21]
18 kg times 5 kg would be 90 kg because each window was 18 kg, hence 90 kg
