Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

he road, but then he returned to pavement. The road then turned into a gravel road. Which best describes the frictional force of his trip?
a. Friction increased when he went from pavement to ice and then decreased two more times.
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
c. Friction increased when he went from pavement to ice and then decreased one additional time.
d. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased one additional time.

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

F_{f} = -\mu N

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of N will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s

If you set the cruise control of your car to a certain speed and take a turn, the speed of the car will remain the same. Is the
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Yes, the car has acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. The velocity is a vector quantity. If a car is moving with constant speed but taking a turn, it means the velocity is changing, so the car have some acceleration.

In order for an external force to do work on a system, Question 9 options: a) there must be a component of the force perpendicul
zepelin [54]

Answer:

b) there must be a component of force parallel to the motion of the object.

Explanation:

We know that work done on a body by an external force is calculated by the formula given below:

W = F.d = Fd Cos θ

where,

W = Work Done by the force on the body

F = Magnitude of force

d = displacement of the body

θ = The angle between the direction of motion of the body and the force applied

It is clear from the formula of the work done, that "F Cosθ" represents the component of the force, that is acting in the direction of motion of the object or parallel to the direction of motion of the object. So, if there is no component of force parallel to motion of object, then this factor will become zero. As a result, the work done will also be zero.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

b) <u>there must be a component of force parallel to the motion of object.</u>
