Given:
Stopping distance range is d = (65, 70) ft.

The stopping distance, d, obeys this formula.
d = v²/(2μg)
where
v = speed of the vehicle
μ = 0.8, coefficient of static friction under good road conditions
g = acceleration due to gravity, 32.2 ft/s²

Therefore
v = √(2*0.8*32.2*d) = 7.178√d

Test d = 65 ft.
v = 7.178√(65) = 57.87 ft/s = (57.87/88)*60 = 39.5 mph

Test d = 70 ft.
v = 7.178√(70) = 60.05 ft/s = 40.9 mph

To be safe, the lower speed of 39.5 mph is preferred.

Answer: 40 mph

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. $v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. $v_{car}=6.3m/s\\v_{truck}=-6.3m/s$

C. ΔK $=-4.13x10^3J$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

$v_{1}=5.79m/s\\m_{1}=102kg\\v_{2}=18.5m/s\\m_{2}=103kg$

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

$m_{3}=102kg+103kg=205kg$

From linear momentum we got that:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}$

$v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3} }=\frac{(102kg)(5.79m/s)+(103kg)(18.5m/s)}{(205kg)}$

$v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:

For the car

$v_{car}=v_{f}-v_{o}=12.17m/s-5.79m/s=6.38m/s$

For the truck

$v_{truck}=12.17m/s-18.5m/s=-6.3m/s$

C. The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔK= $K_{2}-K_{1} =\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2})$

ΔK= $\frac{1}{2}(205)(12.17)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(102)(5.79)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(103)(18.5)^{2})=-4.13x10^{3}J$

ΔK $=-4.13x10^{3}J$

Which would be the best metal to use for the insulated wire?

katrin2010 [14]

Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

Find the shear stress and the thickness of the boundary layer (a) at the center and (b) at the trailing edge of a smooth flat pl

melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The shear stress is 0.012

b) The shear stress is 0.0082

c) The total friction drag is 0.329 lbf

Explanation:

Given by the problem:

Length y plate = 2 ft

Width y plate = 10 ft

p = density = 1.938 slug/ft³

v = kinematic viscosity = 1.217x10⁻⁵ft²/s

Absolute viscosity = 2.359x10⁻⁵lbfs/ft²

a) The Reynold number is equal to:

$Re=\frac{1*3}{1.217x10^{-5} } =246507, laminar$

The boundary layer thickness is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*1}{Re^{0.5} } =\frac{4.91*1}{246507^{0.5} } =0.0098$ ft

The shear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{1} )(246507)^{0.5} =0.012$

b) If the railing edge is 2 ft, the Reynold number is:

$Re=\frac{2*3}{1.215x10^{-5} } =493015.6,laminar$

The boundary layer is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*2}{493015.6^{0.5} } =0.000019ft$

The sear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{2} )(493015.6^{0.5} )=0.0082$

c) The drag coefficient is equal to:

$C=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re} } =\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{493015.6} } ==0.0019$

The friction drag is equal to:

$F=Cp\frac{v^{2} }{2} wL=0.0019*1.938*(\frac{3^{2} }{2} )(10*2)=0.329lbf$

How was Bohr's atomic model different from those of previous scientists?

exis [7]

Answer:Bohr placed the electrons in distinct energy levels. Rutherford described the atom as consisting of a tiny positive mass surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in quantised orbits.

Explanation: also rutherfords was just a hypothesis while Bhor took the time to make his an experiment
