A car that weighs 1.0 x 10^4 N is initially moving at a speed of 38 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a

stop in 20 m. Assuming that the force that stops the car is constant, find (a) the magnitude of that force and (b) the time required for the change in speed. If the initial speed is doubled, and the car experiences the same force during the braking, by what factors are (c) the stopping distance and (d) the stopping time multiplied? (There could be a lesson here about the danger of driving at high speeds.)

Answer:

Part a) Force on car = 2833.84 Newtons

Part b) Time to stop the car = 3.8 seconds

Part c) Factor for stopping distance is 4.

Part d) Factor for stopping time is 1.

Explanation:

The deceleration produced when the car is brought to rest in 20 meters can be found by third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

v = final speed of the car ( = 0 in our case since the car stops)

u = initial speed of the car = 38 km/hr =\frac{38\times 1000}{3600}=10.56m/s

a = deceleration produces

s = distance in which the car stops

Applying the given values we get

0^2=10.56^2+2\times a\times 20\\\\a=\frac{0-10.56^2}{2\times 20}\\\\\therefore a=-2.78m/s^2

Now the force can be obtained using newton's second law as

Force=\frac{Weight}{g}\times a

Applying values we get

Force=\frac{1.0\times 10^4}{9.81}\times -2.78\\\\\therefore F=-2833.84Newtons

The negative direction indicates that the force is opposite to the motion of the object.

Part b)

The time required to stop the car can be found using the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at with symbols having the same meanings

Applying values we get

0=10.56-2.78\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{10.56}{2.78}=3.8seconds

Part c)

From the developed relation of stopping distance we can see that the for same force( Same acceleration) the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial speed thus doubling the initial speed increases the stopping distance 4 times.

Part d)

From the relation of stopping time and the initial speed we can see that the stopping distance is proportional initial speed thus if we double the initial speed the stopping time also doubles.

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 72.0 units. If the charge of object 1 is doubled AND the charge
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

432 units

Explanation:

Let the charges be q and Q separated by a distance r. The electrostatic force , F = kqQ/r² = 72 units. If q = 2q and Q = 3Q, then the new electrostatic force is

F = k × 2q × 3Q/r² = 6kqQ/r² = 6 × 72 = 432 units
