Answer:

v = 14 m/s

  = 31.3 mph

The answer would be the same if the mass of the car were 2000 kg

Explanation:

Let V be the final velocity of the car after skidding, and v be the initial velocity of the car. Let a be the acceleration of the car and Δx be the distance the car travels after applying brakes (length of the skid marks). Let Fk be the force of friction between the tyres and the road. Let N be the normal force exerted on the car and μ be the co efficient of kinetic friction.

V^2 = v^2 + 2×a×Δx

Now V, the final velocity is zero as the car stops

0 = v^2 + 2×a×Δx

v^2 = -2×a×Δx

v =√-2×a×Δx    .....*

Now applying Newton's Second Law

Fnet = m×a

-Fk = m×a

-μ×N = m×a

-μ×m×g = m×a (The mass cancels out)

a =  -μ×g

Substituting the value of a back to equation *

v = √-2×(-μ×g)×Δx  

v = √-2×(-0.5×9.8)×20

v = 14 m/s

Therefore the speed the car was travelling with v = 14 m/s

which is equal to 31.3 mph

Now if you were to change the mass of the car to 2000 kg the value for v would still be the same. As it is seen above mass cancels out so it does not influence or affect the value of the velocity obtained.

A pan of ice is placed over a flame.
AveGali [126]
A. The molecules start packed together very tightly in a solid. Then when it turns to water, the molecules can move around each other freely, but still contained. When water turns to vapor, the molecules are going crazy moving around. They are not contained at all and bounce of of each other freely.

b. The temperature rises. (ice turns to water at 33 degrees and water turns to vapor at 212 degrees)

If a transformer has a primary with 100 V and fifty coils, and a secondary that yields 20 V, how many coils are on the secondary
melomori [17]
Ideally, if all the magnetic of one winding cuts the other winding, and there isn't any loss in the transformer core or the resistance of the wire, then the voltage across each winding is proportional to the number of turns in its coil.

If you apply 100 V to a winding of 50 turns, then a winding that yields 20 volts
must be wound with

(20/100) of 50 turns = 10 turns

A truck exerts 2700 N of force on a car that is stuck in the mud, and does not move. How much work has the truck performed?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

although force was applied as long as there's no movement ,no work has been done

mathematically;work=force×distance

work=2700×0

work=0J

The frequency of the fundamental of the guitar string is 320 Hz. At what speed c do waves move along that string?
viktelen [127]

Complete question is The frequency of the fundamental of the guitar string is 320 Hz. At what speed c do waves move along that string?  wavelength is 40 cm.

Answer:

128 m/s  

Explanation:

In case where fundamental frequency is given, the speed with waves travel along the string can be calculated using the following formula:

v = f (2L) where L is the length of the string (L = λ/2)

⇒v= f λ

f = 320 Hz (given)

λ = 40 cm = 0.40 m

Substitute the values:

⇒ v = 320 Hz × 0.40 m=  128 m/s
