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.

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

Un prisma de cemento pesa 2500 N y ejerce una presión de 125 Pa, ¿cuál es el valor del área en la cual se apoya?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Area = 20 m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 2500 N

Pressure = 125 Pa

To find the area on which it rest;

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = \frac {Force}{area}

Making area the subject of formula, we have;

Area = \frac {Force}{pressure}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Area = \frac {2500}{125}

Area = 20 m²

Which change will increase the speed of a sound wave traveling in a solid aluminum rod? changing the rod from a solid to a liqui
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

increasing the temperature of the rod

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave and its speed in a solid rod is given by the formula

v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}

here we know that

Y = young's modulus

\rho = density of the medium

so as we increase the temperature of rod the density of the rod will decrease while the elasticity will remain same

So on increasing the temperature we can say that speed will increase due to decrease in the density
