How does traction control increase safety?

Physics
1 answer:
murzikaleks [220]4 years ago
8 0
When a vehicle without traction control attempts to accelerate on a slippery surface like ice, snow, or loose gravel, the wheels are liable to slip. The result of wheel slip is that the tires spin quickly on the surface of the road without gaining any actual grip, so the vehicle does not accelerate.

A 1000 kg satellite and a 2000 kg satellite follow exactly the same orbit around the earth. What is the ratio F1/F2 of the gravi
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

the <em>ratio F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

the <em>ratio a1/a2 = 1</em>

Explanation:

The force that both satellites experience is:

F1 = G M_e m1 / r²       and

F2 = G M_e m2 / r²

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • r is the orbital radius
  • M_e is the mass of Earth

Therefore,

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] / [G M_e m2 / r²]

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] × [r² / G M_e m2]

F1/F2 = m1/m2

F1/F2 = 1000/2000

<em>F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

The other force that the two satellites experience is the centripetal force. Therefore,

F1c = m1 v² / r    and

F2c = m2 v² / r

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • v is the orbital velocity
  • r is the orbital velocity

Thus,

a1 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a1    and

a2 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a2

Therefore,

F1c = m1 a1 r / r = m1 a1

F2c = m2 a2 r / r = m2 a2

In order for the satellites to stay in orbit, the gravitational force must equal the centripetal force. Thus,

F1 = F1c

G M_e m1 / r² = m1 a1

a1 = G M_e / r²

also

a2 = G M_e / r²

Thus,

a1/a2 = [G M_e / r²] / [G M_e / r²]

<em>a1/a2 = 1</em>

Imagine two starts are exactly the same size, but one of the stars to greater mass than the other.which star will burn out all o
Neko [114]

Answer:

The larger star will burn out faster. as nuclear fuel is burned out due to higher percentage being consumed.

Explanation:

Gravity on the other hand is only affected a little during this process and mass use. Solar mass loss is caused by mass that is turned into energy (E=mc²), but also by the material that is lost to the solar wind.

If you dropped a ball from a height of 10 m and measured its distance to the ground every 0.1 s, what would the graph of positio
wlad13 [49]

If you dropped a ball from any height, and measured its distance from the ground at any regular interval while it's falling, the graph of that distance versus time would be a graph that curves downward.

-- The ball is falling down.  As time goes on, it gets closer and closer to the ground.  Its remaining distance from the ground keeps decreasing, so the line on the graph slopes down.

-- The speed of the ball keeps increasing (it accelerates) because of the gravitational force on it. As time goes on, it covers more of the remaining distance during each interval than it did in the previous interval. The downward slope of the graph keeps increasing.
