Why the brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle?

Physics
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Frictional force

Explanation:

The brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle because more frictional force is expended in applying the brake on a car than a bicycle.

To brake a car, the concept of friction is usually adopted. Two surfaces that increases friction when they come in contact are used in braking.

Frictional force is a force that resists the motion of a body. This forces helps to have grasp of motion.

A car requires more resistance to motion to break it because it have more more mass and other component motions parameters.

A bicycle is lighter and will require little friction.

Some of the frictional force applied is converted to heat energy. The amount of this energy expended is proportional to the frictional force.

A storm is moving at 15 km/hr what to do to determine its velocity
WINSTONCH [101]
Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?
Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave  = 330m/s

Wavelength  = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

             Speed  = Frequency x wavelength

            330  = Frequency x 0.372

   Frequency  = 887.1Hz

Why is air considered a fluid
34kurt

Answer:

A fluids is any substance that flows. Air is made of stuff, air particles, that are loosely held together in a gas form. Although liquids are the most commonly recognized fluids, gasses are also fluids. Since air is a gas, it flows and takes the form of its container.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.
