The given data is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 84 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.36.  Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. (why does the car's mass not matter?)

Explanation:

Let us assume that v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity of the car. Let s be the skid marks and \mu be the friction coefficient and m be the mass of car.

Hence, the given data is as follows.

                v = 0,     s = 84 m,     \mu = 0.36

According to Newton's law of second motion the expression for acceleration is as follows.

                      F = ma

                 -\mu N = ma

                 -\mu mg = ma

                      a = -\mu g

Also,    

               v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as

              (0)^{2} = u^{2} + 2(-\mu g)s

                  u^{2} = 2(\mu g)s

                            = \sqrt{2(0.36)(9.81 m/s^{2})(84 m)}

                            = 24.36 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes is 24.36 m/s.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.
