Nothing has been discovered to go faster than the speed of light. There have been some discoveries that had a speed very, very close to it (a bit under it), but none have passed it.

A trailer truck with a 2000 [kg] cab and a 8000 [kg] trailer is traveling on a level road at 90 [km/hr].The brakes on the traile
NeX [460]

Answer:

a)   t = 19.6 s, b) fr = 1.274 10⁴ N

Explanation:

This is a Newton's second law problem

Y Axis

for the cabin

        N₁-W₁ = 0

        N₁ = W₁

for the trailer

        N₂- W₂ = 0

        N₂ = W₂

X axis

for the cabin plus trailer, where friction is only in the cabin

         fr = (m₁ + m₂) a

the friction force equation is

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ N₁ = (m₁ + m₂) a

        μ m₁ g = (m₁ + m₂) a

        a = μ g    \frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}

         

let's calculate

         a = 0.65 9.8    \frac{2000}{2000+8000}

         a = 1,274 m / s²

a) to find the stopping distance we can use kinematics

         Let's slow down the sI system

         v₀ = 90 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

         v = v₀ - a t

when it is stopped its speed is zero

           0 = v₀ - at

           t = v₀ / a

           t = 25 / 1.274

           t = 19.6 s

b) the friction force is

           fr = 0.65 2000 9.8

          fr = 1.274 10⁴ N

This is the braking force and also the forces that couple the cars.

How is acceleration related to force when mass is consistent, according to Newton’s second law of motion?
kramer

Answer: Acceleration is directly proportional to force.

Explanation: According to Newton's Second Law of Motion the amount of Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration or F = ma. If we derive this formula for acceleration it will become a = F / m.

The relationship between acceleration and force is directly proportional which means that greater force will result to greater acceleration as along mass remains constant.
