How does a smoother surface affect braking distance

Physics
1 answer:
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
3 0
Friction has to do with this.  If you have a smoother surface than another surface, the smoother surface will contain less friction.  Friction is an opposing force against a moving object.  If there is less opposing force towards a moving object, there is less friction.  If you have a smooth road, cars won't break as fast as they would break on bumpy roads, because bumpy roads have more bumps, creating more friction.  I hope that helped.  :D

A ball is thrown upward from a height of 432 feet above the​ ground, with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. From physic
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer;

A)S(t)=96t-16t² +432

B)it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)864feet

Explanation:

We were given an initial height of 432 feet.

And v(t)= 96-32t

A) we are to Find​ s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t

The position, or heigth, is the integrative of the velocity. So

S(t)= ∫(96-32)dt

S(t)=96t-16t² +K

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

In which the constant of integration K is the initial height, so K= 432

b) we need to know how long will the ball take to reach the​ ground

This is t when S(t)= 0

S(t)=96t-16t² +432

-16t² +96t +432=0

This is quadratic equation, if you solve using factorization method we have

t= -3 or t= 9

Therefore, , t is the instant of time and it must be a positive value.

So it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

C)V=s/t

Velocity= distance/ time

=96=s/9sec

S=96×9

=864feet

A forward horizontal force of 12n is used to pull a crate across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity. If the crate weighs
kow [346]

Explanation:

μ = coefficient of friction.

F = Frictional force = 12N

R = Normal reaction = mg = Weight = 240N

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8ms—²

μ = F/R

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>0</em>

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em>¹/20

μ = 0.05

Describe the arrangement, motion, and energy of the molecules in the solid, liquid, and gas phases of water.
Ad libitum [116K]
In a solid the atoms are tightly packed together meaning that they vibrate in place slowly. In a liquid the energy gets faster and they have enough space between each other where they can move past one another. And in a gas the particles are moving very fast and they are spread out even further than a liquid.
