An automobile with a tangential speed of 54.1 km/h follows a circular road that has a radius of 41.6 m. The automobile has a mas

s of 1260 kg. The pavement is wet and oily, so the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car's tires and the pavement is only 0.500.

1) Available force of friction: 6174 N

2) No

Explanation:

1)

The magnitude of the frictional force between the car's tires and the pavement of the road is given by

F_f=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the car in this problem, we have:

\mu=0.500 (coefficient of friction)

m = 1260 kg (mass of the car)

g=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the force of friction is

F_f=(0.500)(1260)(9.8)=6174 N

2)

In order to mantain the car in circular motion, the force of friction must be at least equal to the centripetal force.

The centripetal force is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the tangential speed

r is the radius of the curve

In this problem, we have

m = 1260 kg

v=54.1 km/h =15.0 m/s is the tangential speed

r = 41.6 m is the radius of the curve

Therefore, the centripetal force is

F=(1260)\frac{15.0^2}{41.6}=6814 N

Therefore, the force of friction is not enough to keep the car in the curve, since F_f

Based on what you have just read, what are the advantages of storing music digitally compared to using an analog system?
melamori03 [73]

Storing music digitally requires less storage room than analog records or tapes. Digital music is easier to copy and the copies are the same as the original. The quality of the signal does not degrade over long periods of time.

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N
