If your brakes fail, look for something to rub against, try to pick something that will not give way.True or False?

Physics
1 answer:
Yanka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False

If brakes fail then we should not run against any object or wall to slow down the speed instead we should use friction forces slow down the car and shift gear to neutral to cease any acceleration.

By driving zig-zag motion friction force on the tires may stop the car after some distance.

Do not try to shut off the engine as it will lock the steering mechanism any prove fatal.

A runner completes the 300-meter dash in 38 seconds. What is the speed of the runner? Round your answer the answer to the neares
loris [4]

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

A 2.2-kg block slides on a horizontal surface with a speed of v=0.80m/s and an
mina [271]

Answer:

μ = 0.33

Equal to 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are three forces:

Normal force N pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Friction force Nμ pushing opposite the direction of motion.

Sum of forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Nμ = ma

Substitute.

mgμ = ma

μ = a/g

μ = (3.2 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.33

As found earlier, the acceleration is a = gμ.  Since g and μ are constant, a is also constant, so it does not change with velocity.

Tammy leaves the office, drives 34 km due north, then turns onto a second highway and continues in a direction of 35◦ north of e
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o

How does speed measure​
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
