Answer:
ac = 3.92 m/s²
Explanation:
In this case the frictional force must balance the centripetal force for the car not to skid. Therefore,
Frictional Force = Centripetal Force
where,
Frictional Force = μ(Normal Force) = μ(weight) = μmg
Centripetal Force = (m)(ac)
Therefore,
μmg = (m)(ac)
ac = μg
where,
ac = magnitude of centripetal acceleration of car = ?
μ = coefficient of friction of tires (kinetic) = 0.4
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
ac = (0.4)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>ac = 3.92 m/s²</u>
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.
