You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

hat have lost their brakes on mountain grades. Typically, such a lane is horizontal (if possible) and about 36.0 m36.0 m long. Think of the ground as exerting a frictional drag force on the truck. A truck enters a typical runaway lane with a speed of 50.5 mph50.5 mph ( 22.6 m/s22.6 m/s ). Use the work-energy theorem to find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane to be able to stop the truck.

Answer:

The  coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu_k =  0.724

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the lane is  l =  36.0 \  m

    The speed of the truck is  v  =  22.6\  m/s

     

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that  

    \Delta KE  =   N  *  \mu_k *  l

Here N  is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

     \Delta KE is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

        \Delta KE =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>     \Delta KE =  0.5  *  m *  22.6^2

=>      \Delta KE =  255.38m

        255.38m =    m *  9.8  *  \mu_k *   36.0

=>     255.38  =    352.8  *  \mu_k

=>   \mu_k =  0.724

A book falls off a shelf that and hits the ground at 10.0 m/s. How far did it fall?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the book is a free fall motion, so it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. Therefore we can find the final velocity by using the equation:

where

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance covered by the book

Substituting data, we find

Does the vertical or horizontal position affect an objects potential energy?
son4ous [18]
Yes. If an object would be vertical, it would most likely have potential energy due to gravity.

a 10kg cement block horizontally at 6 m/s plows into a bank of sand and comes to a stop in 2.0 m/s. What is the average impact f
Gnesinka [82]
I assume the block plows into the bank of sand with a velocity of 6 m/s and comes to a stop in 2 s.

\bar Ft =  \Delta mv  \\  \\  \bar F =  \frac{\Delta mv }{t}  \\  \\  \bar F \ avarage \ Force \\  m \ momentum \\ v \ velocity \\ t \ time

Consider the surface with parametric equations .
balandron [24]

There are two ways to express the tangent plane equation. Given that it is the sum of the two distinct tangent vectors, its parametric equation is r=r0+sru+trv.

<h3>What does the parametric surface in calculus mean?</h3>

A surface in Euclidean space is considered to be parametric if it can be described by a parametric equation with two variables. Parametric representation is another reasonably general technique for describing a surface in addition to implicit representation.

On the other hand, tangent planes to a surface are planes that are "parallel" to the surface at the point where they barely touch it. Remember that this provides us with a point on the The tangent plane equation can be written in two different ways. The following point emerges from the surface and tangent plane meeting at (x0,y0):

Which of the following describes a scientific law?
enot [183]
The correct answer is C. Explains how and why nature does what it does.

Scientific laws have been tested and proven constant in nature. They serve as an explanation for the way nature functions. An example would be the laws of motion, friction, or gravity. These rules of existence will never change and set a foundation for the building of scientific theories and experimentation.

I hope this helps! :)
