Rafael is driving his car at 26 m/s. What is the shortest distance in which he can brake and stop if the coefficient of static f

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

86.14 meters.

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

velocity of car = 26 m/s

the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

µ = 0.4 (kinetic)

Let us take g = 9.81 m/s^2

Required

The distance x = distance in m

We know that

$N = Fg = mg\\\\F_\mu = -\mu N = \mu F_g = \mu mg\\\\KE = (1/2) mv^2$

W = F*x (Work is force times distance)

Step two:

Conservation of energy gives

KE = W

Substituting gives

$(1/2) mv^2 = F \mu x\\\\(1/2) mv^2 = \mu mgx\\\\mv^2 = 2 \mu mgx$

Solving for distance (x) gives

$x = mv^2 / 2 \mu mg$

Simplifying

$x = v^2 / 2 \mu g$

Substitute:

$x = v^2 / 2 \mu g$

$x= 26^2/2*0.4*9.81$

$x=676/7.848\\\\x=86.14$

Therefore, the minimum braking distance is 86.14 meters.

Phyics !!! Cannon ball question

natima [27]

Answer:

Zero; no force is required to keep it going

Explanation:

Since the cannon ball is fired into frictionless space, there will be nothing to stop it, so it will keep going and going.

When you take your 1900-kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 55 m with a speed of 15 m/s. The coefficient of

pentagon [3]

Answer:

7772.72N

Explanation:

When u draw your FBD, you realize you have 3 forces (ignore the force the car produces), gravity, normal force and static friction. You also realize that gravity and normal force are in our out of the page (drawn with a frame of reference above the car). So that leaves you with static friction in the centripetal direction.

Now which direction is the static friction, assume that it is pointing inward so

Fc=Fs=mv²/r=1900*15²/55=427500/55=7772.72N

Since the car is not skidding we do not have kinetic friction so there can only be static friction. One reason we do not use μFn is because that is the formula for maximum static friction, and the problem does not state there is maximum static friction.

What is the reverse of vaporization?

Naddik [55]

Answer: condensation.

Vaporization is the pass from liquid state to gaseous state.

Then the reverse is the transformation from gaseous state to liquid state.

That is called condensation.

When the water vaporizes the liquid transforms into vapor which goes to the atmosphere. When the water vapor of the atmosphere condensates liquid water is formed. You can see condensation when you have a glass with cold water and drops of water form in the exterior of the glass: those drops are liquid water that formed when the vapor of the air that surrounds the glass cools due to the lower temperature of the surface of the glass.

The organ system that moves blood around your body?

dusya [7]

The cardiovascular system moves blood through hour body. It is made up of the Heart pumping the blood that is circulated around the body through its networks of arteries, veins and capillaries. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems together make up the circulatory system.
