Answer: 8.07 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity, we can extract the value of the velocity v at a given time t, as follows:

v = v₀ + a t (1)

As we already know v₀ and t, our  single unknown is the acceleration a.

Once the friver slammed on the brakes, there exists an external force, due to friction, which is the only external force acting in the horizontal direction, producing a deceleration.

This friction force, is equal to the product of  the coeficient of  kinetic friction, times the normal force.

In this case, the normal force is numerically equal to the gravity force, which we call weight.

This force opposes to the direction of the initial velocity, as it always opposes to the relative movement between both surfaces in contact.

Applying Newton's 2nd Law, we get:

Fnet = ma ⇒ Ff = m a ⇒ -μk . m . g = m.a

Solving for a :

a = -μk . g = -0.68 . 9.8 m/s² = -6.66 m/s²

Replacing in (1)

v = 15.4 m/s +(-6.66) m/s². 1.11 s = 8.07 m/s

A newspaper turns yellow in sunlight. Is this a physical or chemical change?
LekaFEV [45]
It is a chemical change. I always think of a chemical/physical change as if you could  reverse it back as it started off, for example if you stepped on a can you can reverse the can back probably not exactly like it was before but you can still reverse it so this would be a physical change, and if you baked a pizza you could not reverse the dough and everything else back.

A bicycle tire has a radius of 0.23 m. the tire spins at a constant speed with a centripetal acceleration of 42 m/s2. what is th
vredina [299]

Answer:

a = v^2/r      centripetal acceleration

v = (a * r)^1/2 = (42 * .23)^1/2 = 3.1 m/s

In preparation for building a space station, an astronaut removes a self-telescoping uniform rod from the cargo bay and releases
emmainna [20.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of angular momentum. This can be expressed mathematically as a function of inertia and angular velocity, that is:

L = I\omega

Where,

I = Moment of Inertia

\omega= Angular Velocity

For the given object the moment of inertia is equivalent to

I = \frac{mr^2}{12}

Considering that the moment of inertia varies according to distance, and that there are two of these without altering the mass we will finally have to

L_i = L_f

I_i \omega_1 = I_f \omega_2

(\frac{mr_{initial}^2}{12})(\omega_1)=(\frac{mr_{final}^2}{12})(\omega_2)

(r_{initial}^2})(\omega_1)=(r_{final}^2)(\omega_2)

Our values are given as,

r_{initial} = 3m\\\omega_1 = 0.05rad/s \\r_{final}=1.5m

Replacing we have,

(3^2})(0.05)=(1.5^2)(\omega_2)

\omega_2 = 0.2rad/s

Therefore the angular speed after the catch slips is 0.2rad/s
