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

That is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>A hypothesis</em> is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon.

<em> A law</em> is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University. ... However, Newton's law doesn't explain what gravity is, or how it works.

13. A transformer has a primary coil with 600 turns and a secondary coil with 300 turns. If the output voltage is 320 volts, wha
vivado [14]
His is a step down transformer since n(primary) is greater than n(seconcary). You relate the input voltage with the ouput voltage with the following equation: 

<span>Vout = n2/n1*Vin (n2/n1 is essentially your 'transfer function' that dictates what a specified input would produce) </span>

<span>Solving the equation: </span>

<span>Vin = Vout*n1/n2 = (320V)*(600/300) = 640 V </span>

<span>This is checked by seeing if Vin is greater than Vout, which it is for a step down transformer.</span>

A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race.
wolverine [178]
Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.

Let
a =  average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.

Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²

Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s

Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).
