Proper design of automobile braking systems must account for heat buildup under heavy braking. Part A Calculate the thermal ener

gy dissipated from brakes in a 1600 kg car that descends a 15 ∘ hill. The car begins braking when its speed is 95 km/h and slows to a speed of 40 km/h in a distance of 0.34 km measured along the road.

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.

The temperature of the air in a valley begins to increase after the sun comes up and heats the valley floor. What will
tester [92]

Explanation:

I think it will increase a little bit ... just image ... if the temperature is 0, the velocity will be 0 too. because the vibration of atom is so weak and the sound cant progation.

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because t<span>hey have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you</span>

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
