Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and

the least massive is car H. If the tires of all three cars have identical coefficients of kinetic friction with the road surface, which car travels the longest distance to skid to a stop?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax

Where,

v_f = Final velocity

v_i = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

F_f = \mu_k (mg)  \rightarrowFrictional Force

F = ma \rightarrow Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

\mu_k = Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

F_f = F

\mu_k mg=ma

a = \mu_k g

Therefore,

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax

0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x

Re-arrange to find x,

x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. Which characteristic of the wave does this description represent? A. period B. w
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

period

Explanation:

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. It is called the time period of the wave. It is the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle.

The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :

T = 1/f

Where

f is frequency of the wave

Hence, the correct option is (a) "period".

When the temperature of the air is 50°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately?
noname [10]

The answer is:

C. 361 m/s

The explanation:

To calculate  the speed of sound at a given temperature (50°C) we are going to use this formula:

v = 331 + 0.6T

when V is the velocity

and T is the temperature = 50°C

by substitution:

v = 331 + 0.6(50)

v = 361 m/s

So, The correct answer is C.

because of the variation of the motion of the molecules of air with change of temperature so, the velocity (V) of the  sound in the air is change with temperature.

what would happen when an inflated balloon is place in an ice bath and the atmosphere pressure has not changed?
ruslelena [56]

The inflated balloon shrinks when it is placed in an ice bath with no change in atmospheric pressure.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

        When the inflated balloon is subjected to an ice bath, it shrinks. This is due to the fact that smaller volume gets occupied by the air/gas inside the balloon as the temperature decreases. Hence, causes the balloon walls to collapse.  

         An ice bath also lowers the overall air temperature of the balloon inside. As the temperature decreases, the air molecules move more slowly and with lower energy. Because of the particle's lower energy, their collisions with the walls are not enough to keep the inflated balloon.

Answer:

Solar water heaters are devices that use energy from the sun to heat water. ... This metal surface, placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. Black-painted surfaces that receive the sun's heat become hotter than surfaces of any other color. The black metal plate is called a collector.
