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)

A 0.18 m radius pulley is free to rotate about a horizontal axis. A mass and a mass are attached by a massless string, which is
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

T = 1.766(M-m) Nm where M and m are the 2 masses of the objects

Explanation:

Let m and M be the masses of the 2 objects and M > m so the system would produce torque and rotational motion on the pulley. Force of gravity that exert on each of the mass are mg and Mg. Since Mg > mg, the net force on the system is Mg - mg or g(M - m) toward the heavier mass.

Ignore friction and string mass, and let g = 9.81 m/s2, the net torque on the pulley is the product of net force and arm distance to the pivot point, which is pulley radius r = 0.18 m

T = Fr = g(M - m)0.18 = 0.18*9.81(M - m) = 1.766(M-m) Nm

Compared with the amount of current in the filament of a lamp, the amount of current in the connecting wire is A. definitely les
pashok25 [27]

Compared with the amount of current in the filament of a lamp, the amount of current in the connecting wire is

D. the same.

As per the rule, the amount of current in devices connected in series is equal. here in the given situation , the wire is in series with the filament. that is the reason that the current in filament and wire is same.

hence the correct choice is D)

An elevator is moving is an upwards
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

The components of vector A are Ax = +2.2 and Ay = -6.9 , and the components of vector B are given are Bx = -6.1 and By = -2.2. W
Zina [86]
For simplicity, let's call vector B-A  vector C  Then C is
Cx = (-6.1 - 2.2)  
Cy = (-2.2 - (-6.9))  Or,
Cx = -8.3  Cy = 4.7
The magnitude is found with the Pythagorean theorem
||C|| = √(-8.3² + 4.7²) = 9.538
