The added weight of the sand puts more downward pressure on the wheels contacting the rails, which would cause the trains speed to decrease.

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.

A 32-n force acts on a small mass in the positive x-direction. a 26-n force also acts on it in the negative x-direction. what is
motikmotik

Equilibrium force is the force that will keep the small mass in place, hence no movement must be made. So we know that 32 N of force is acted towards the positive direction so +32 N. Which is counteracted by 26 N force so:

32 N – 26 N = 6 N (positive)

Since positive 6 is left, therefore this must be acted by an equilibrant negative 6 N.

<span>- 6 N </span>
