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

At 900.0 K, the equilibrium constant (Kp) for the following reaction is 0.345. 2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g) At equilibrium, the partial
elena55 [62]

Answer : The partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm

Solution :  Given,

Partial pressure of SO_2 at equilibrium = 30.6 atm

Partial pressure of O_2 at equilibrium = 13.9 atm

Equilibrium constant = K_p=0.345

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(p_{SO_2})^2\times (p_{O_2})}

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

0.345=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(30.6)^2\times (13.9)}

p_{SO_3}=67.009atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm

While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes
kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.

A teacher walks 5m north of his desk, then we walks 6m south.
sergey [27]
11m if you add 6+5 you get 11 but of course you need the “m” in the mix so 11m but correct me if I’m wrong.
