You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
1 answer:
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the lane is
The speed of the truck is
Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that
Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as
is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as
=>
=>

Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.
The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as
= 2π r / T
Where
π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159
T is period of time
Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel
The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.
Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26
Vr = 12.1893692/2.26
Vr = 5.39352619469
Which is approximately 5.39
