Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Why are TV shows nowadays so boring?
Anna [14]

The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people.  Here's <u>my</u> take on it:

The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring.  And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast. 

I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong".  I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.

My conclusion is this: 
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person.  You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for.  That's
a very good thing !

You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things.  That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.

Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends.  With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends.  And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on.  Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else.  Those are the people that
TV is aimed at.  But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.

There are other possible reasons why TV bores you.  But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
