Answer:

If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.

Explanation:

To determine how fast the car was moving, after skidding, the formula below is used:

V = √32*fd

V is the car's speed (ft/s)

d is skid length (ft) = 66 ft

f is the coefficient of friction determined by the material the car was skidding on.

Coefficient of friction for wet concrete is 0.65

V = √32*fd

V = √32 *0.65* 66

V = 242.679 ft/s ≅ 243 ft/s (nearest whole number)

If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.

Hot coffee in a mug cools over time and the mug warms up. Which describes the energy in this system?
Alex17521 [72]
<span>The heat energy is being transferred between the two substances by thermal conduction. Because the hot coffee is at a different temperature to the mug, heat energy flows between them so that they reach thermal equilibrium, or the same temperature. This kind of heat transfer always happens from hotter temperatures to cooler temperatures.</span>

A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.478 m. The plane of the circle is 1.02 m abov
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find first the velocity of ball at the time when string breaks. Let it be v . During its fall on the ground , 1.02 m below, we use the formula

h = 1/2 gt² where t is time of fall .

1.02 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t²= .2081

t = .456

During this time it travels horizontally at distance of 2.5 m with uniform velocity of v

v x .456 = 2.5

v  = 5.48 m /s

centripetal acceleration

= v² / r where r is radius of the circular path

= 5.48² / .478

= 62.82 m /s²

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it is changing state of matter?
noname [10]
Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely

As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases

Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them
