At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi

cient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,                                

length of skid = 93 m          

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s              

initial velocity = ?                        

force here is friction  f = μ mg

F = ma                                                

now com paring                      

-μ mg = m a                      

a = - μ g                    

a = - 0.35 x 9.8              

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,              

v² = u² + 2 a s                        

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93                

u² = 637.98                    

u = 25.26 m/s                      

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = -10 m

y_{0}: is the initial height = 0

v_{0_{y}}: is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

HELP PLEASE BOYLES LAW
kogti [31]

Answer:

3 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume (i.e final volume) of the Ne gas can be obtained as:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.75 × 2 = 0.5 × V₂

1.5 = 0.5 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.5

V₂ = 1.5 / 0.5

V₂ = 3 L

Thus, the new volume of the Ne gas is 3 L

Anni [7]

Answer:

A. 24 m, 14 m/s

B. 8.0 m

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 6.0 m

v₀ = 4.0 m/s

a = 5.0 m/s²

t = 2.0 s

A. Find: x and v

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = (6.0 m) + (4.0 m/s) (2.0 s) + ½ (5.0 m/s²) (2.0 m/s)²

x = 24 m

v = at + v₀

v = (5.0 m/s²) (2.0 s) + (4.0 m/s)

v = 14 m/s

B. Find x when v = 6.0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2a (x − x₀)

(6.0 m/s)² = (4.0 m/s)² + 2 (5.0 m/s²) (x − 6.0 m)

x = 8.0 m
