Answer:

64.85 m

Explanation:

a)

μ = Coefficient of friction between road and tire on rainy day = 0.107

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a = acceleration experienced by car due to friction = - μg = - (0.107) (9.8) = - 1.05 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 42 km/h = 11.67 m/s

v = final speed of the car = 0 m/s

d = minimum distance traveled before stopping

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

0² = 11.67² + 2 (- 1.05) d

d = 64.85 m

A projectile is fired over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal compon
Anettt [7]
First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed v_x=30 m/s, and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed v_y=20 m/s and acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2:
S_x(t)=v_xt
S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
S_y(t)=0
Therefore:
v_y t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0
which has two solutions:
t=0 is the time of the beginning of the motion,
t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit
Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \  m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

A child pulls on a wagon with a force of 75 N. If the wagon moves a total of 42 m in 3.1 min, what is the average power delivere
exis [7]

Answer:

16.96 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done by an object. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = (F×d)/t....................... Equation 1

Where P = power, F = force, d = distance, t = time.

Given: F = 75 N, d = 42 m, t = 3.1 min = 3.1×60 = 186 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (75×42)/186

P = 16.94 W

Hence the average power delivered by the child  = 16.96 W
