A driver slammed on her brakes and came to a stop with constant acceleration. Measurements on her tires and skid marks on the pa

vement indicate that she locked her car's wheels, the car traveled 58.52 meters before stopping, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and her tires was 0.750. How fast was she driving

Answer:

u = 29.22 m/s

Explanation:

distance (s) = 58.52 m

coefficient of kinetic friction (k) = 0.75

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How fast was she driving (u)

we can get how fast she was driving by using the formula below

s = ut - \frac{1}{2}.at^{2}  ...equation 1

where

  • s = distance
  • u = her initial velocity
  • a = acceleration = \frac{f}{m} = \frac{kmg}{m} = kg
  • k = coefficient of kinetic friction
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • t = time

        from v = u - at  (recall that v = 0)

        0 = u - at, therefore t = u/a = u/kg

now substituting the required values above into equation 1 we have

s = \frac{u^{2}}{kg} - \frac{u^{2}}{2kg}

s = \frac{u^{2}}{2kg}

u = \sqrt{2kgs}

u = \sqrt{2 x 0.75 x 9.8 x 58.52}

u = 29.22 m/s

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.
