The brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 4.6 m/s^2. If you are going 114 km/h and suddenly see a

state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 79 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.)

Answer:

The minimum time to get the car under max. speed limit of 79 km/h is 2.11 seconds.

Explanation:

$a=\frac{V_f-V_0}{t}$

isolating "t" from this equation:

$t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}$

Where:

a= $-4.6m/s^2$ (negative because is decelerating)

$V_f= 79 km/h$

$V_0= 114 km/h$

First we must convert velocity from km/h to m/s to be consistent with units.

$79\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{79*1000}{3600}=21.94 m/s$

$114\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{114*1000}{3600}=31.67 m/s$

So;

$t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}=\frac{21.94 m/s-31.66m/s}{-4.6 m/s^2}=2.11 s$

A box is pulled with a horizontal force of 500N and moves 5m what is work done

dalvyx [7]

The answer to the question is shown below:

We all know that formula for solving work done is the force multiplied by distance covered:
Work done = Force x distance
Distance = 5m
Force = 500 N
Work done = 500 N * 5m
Work done = 2500 J

You push your couch a distance of 3.9 m across the living room floor with a horizontal force of 220.0 n. the force of friction i

Mrac [35]

The general formula to calculate the work is:

$W=Fd \cos \theta$

where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.

(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ , therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:

$W=Fd=(220.0 N)(3.9 m)=858 J$

(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore $\theta=180^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=-1$ . Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:

$W=-Fd=-(144.0 N)(3.9 m)=-561.6 J$

(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=0$ : this means

$W=0$ .

(d) Work done by the net force:

The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:

$F=220 N-144 N=76 N$

And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ and the work done is

$W=Fd=(76 N)(3.9 m)=296.4 J$
