Answer: 29.50 m
Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:
f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).
f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a
then
a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2
With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train
as follows:
x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2
Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a
Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
First you do the first parenthesis, (1.08 x 10 - 3) and you do it in the order of operations! (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) to get 7.8. Then you take the second parenthesis (9.3 x 10 - 4) and do the same thing to get 89! You then times 7.8 by 89 to get 694.2! If it needs more elaboration just ask ^.^
Ways to increase friction
<span>- increase the roughness of the contact materials </span>
<span>- increase the pressure on the contact </span>
<span>Ways to decrease friction </span>
<span>- float the moving body on air </span>
<span>- suck out any air </span>
I believe it is a conductor I am learning this myself so I may be wrong
