Assume that the stopping distance of a van varies directly with the square of the speed. A van traveling 40 miles per hour can s

Daniel [21]

Answer:

d = 100.8 ft

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the van is 40 miles then the stopping distance is given as 70 feet

here we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad$

so here we have

$0^2 - 40^2 = 2 a (70 feet)$

now again if the speed is increased to 48 mph then let say the stopping distance is "d"

so we will have

$0^2 - 48^2 = 2 a (d)$

now divide the above two equations

$\frac{40^2}{48^2} = \frac{70 feet}{d}$

$d = 100.8 ft$

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

$\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}$

here we know that

$\mu_1 = 1.473$

$h_o = 5 cm$

$\mu_2 = 1$

now by above formula

$\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}$

$h_i = 3.39 cm$

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

A 50.0 kg crate is pulled 375 N of force applied to a rope. The crate slides without friction.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hi there!

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Recall that:

$\large\boxed{W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2}$

The initial kinetic energy is 0 J because the crate begins from rest, so we can plug in the given values for mass and final velocity:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(50)(5.61^2) = 786.8025 J$

Now, we can define work:

$\large\boxed{W = Fdcos\theta}}$

Now, plug in the values:

$786.8025 = Fdcos\theta\\\\786.8025 = (375)(3.07)cos\theta$

Solve for theta:

$cos\theta = .6834\\\theta = cos^{-1}(.6834) = \boxed{46.887^o}$
