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

vesna_86 [32]

I thought you were going to ask for the resistance of the unknown
series resistor.  Since you only want the equivalent resistance of the
circuit, you don't even need to know the resistance of the lamp.

I = E / R

Current through the circuit = (voltage of the battery) / (circuit resistance).
  
                                                  0.5 = (12) / R

Multiply each side by  'R' :    (0.5) R = 12

Multiply each side by  2 :      <em>R = 24 ohms</em>


(Since the resistance of the lamp is 10 ohms, the
unknown series resistor is the other 14 ohms.)

Is this true or false the kinetic energy of a freely falling object decreases as it begins to fall
Naddika [18.5K]
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object as it moves. It has more kinetic energy the faster it moves. Because a falling object is increasing in speed, it would also increase in kinetic energy. Hope this helps! :)
