The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.480 with the floor. If

the train is initially moving at a speed of 61.0 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:30.50 m

Explanation:

Given

coefficient of friction between railroad and crates \mu =0.48

Train initial velocity (u)=61 kmph \approx 16.94 m/s

To get the shortest distance brakes applied should be order of friction force between crates and railroad floor

a=\mu g=0.48\times 9.8=4.704 m/s^2

using v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration or deceleration

s=distance

here v=0 , u=16.94 m/s

0-(16.94)^2=2\times (-4.704)\times s

s=\frac{(16.94)^2}{2\times 4.704}

s=30.502 m

Anastaziya [24]
Food insecurity, because you are only lacking safe and nutritious food. It would be famine if you had no food whatsoever, and it would be a food shortage if you were lacking a small amount of ALL food

The two pucks of equal mass did not move linearly (they came to a stop) after the collision due to the conservation of linear mo
weeeeeb [17]

Compared to the pucks given, the pair of pucks will rotate at the same rate.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The law of conservation of the angular momentum expresses that when no outer torque follows upon an article, no difference in angular momentum will happen.  At the point when an item is turning in a shut framework and no outside torques are applied to it, it will have no change in angular momentum.

The conservation of the angular momentum clarifies the angular quickening of an ice skater as she brings her arms and legs near the vertical rotate of revolution.  In the event, that the net torque is zero, at that point angular momentum is steady or saved.  

By twice the mass yet keeping the speeds unaltered, also twice the angular momentum's to the two-puck framework.  Be that as it may, we likewise double the moment of inertia. Since L=I \times \omega, the turning rate of the two-puck framework must stay unaltered.
