You testify as an "expert witness" in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped

at a red light along a road headed down a hill. You find that the slope of the hill is θ = 12.0°, that the cars were separated by distance d = 25.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that the speed of car A at the onset of braking was v0 = 18.0 m/s.
(a) With what speed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was 0.60 (dry road surface)?
____ m/s

(b) What was the speed if the coefficient of kinetic friction was 0.10 (road surface covered with wet leaves)?
____ m/s

F=mgsinα –F(fr)=

= mgsinα - μmgcosα

a=F/m =g(sinα – μcosα)

=9.8(sin14-0.57•cos14)= -3.04 m/s²

v²=v₀²+2ad

v=sqrt{ v₀²+2ad} =

=sqrt{18²+2• (-3.04) •25}=13.1 m/

Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

  • Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
  • Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

  • Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m
