A 5000 kg truck traveling at 60 m/s stops in 5 seconds. How much friction was between the truck's tires and the ground? ​

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

60000N

Explanation:

acceleration is change in velocity

a =(v-u)/t where a is acceleration u is initial velocity and v is final velocity

a = (0-60)/5 = -60/5= - 12m/s^2

here minus sign shows that body is decelerating and force is  force of friction Now f = ma here f is force of friction m is mass and a is acceleration

f= 5000×- 12= -60000N

MINUS SIGN HERE SHOWS FORCE OF FRICTION

Hence force of friction is 60000N

Darya [45]

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

a = \frac{49^{2}}{0.26}

a = 9234.6 (m/s^{2})

Wow! That's fast!

<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * 10^{3} (m/s^{2})

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

If a roller coaster cart, with a mass of 100 kg, traveled this coaster, how much kinetic energy would it have at point 'E'?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is -8 in, and the normal force is eight in. W
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

A. -30 N

Explanation:

not sure but if the box isn't moving then the force opposite of Polly would be equal to the force she's exerting.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from vertical, perpendicular to the plane of our planet's orbit around the sun. The tilt of the Earth's axis is important, in that it governs the warming strength of the sun's energy.
