Answer:

speed of the car before the brakes were apply is 12.35 m/s

Explanation:

given data

accident measured distance = 73 feet = 22.25 m

to find out

speed of car before the brakes

solution

we consider here coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the tires is 0.35

and we take speed of the car just before skidding =  u

and final speed of car will be v = 0  

now we apply here work energy theorem

so

0.5 mv² - 0.5 mu² = (- coefficient of kinetic friction × mass × g ) distance  .......1

0.5( v² -u² ) = (- coefficient of kinetic friction × g ) distance

put here value and we get

0.5 ( 0 - u² ) = (- 0.35 × 9.8 ) 22.25

solve it we get

u = 12.35

speed of the car before the brakes were apply is 12.35 m/s

A car has uniform velocity of 108km/hour. How far does it travel in 1 1/2 minutes
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

2.7km

Explanation:

Two methods: Convert km/hour to km/minutes or convert 3/2 minutes to hours.

Then multiply time to get the distance of the car traveled.

Sphere 1 with radius R_1 has positive charge q, Sphere 2 with radius 4.50 R_1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged. The
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

capacitance of sphere 2 will be 4.5 times sphere 1

a ) when spheres are in contact they will have same potential finally . So

V_1 / V_2 = 1

b )

Charge will be distributed in the ratio of their capacity

charge on sphere1 = q  x 1 / ( 1 + 4.5 )

= q / 5.5

fraction = 1 / 5.5

c ) charge on sphere 2

= q x 4.5 / 5.5

fraction = 4.5 / 5.5

d ) surface charge density of sphere 1

= q /( 5.5 x A ) where A is surface area

surface charge density of sphere 2

= q x 4.5 /( 5.5 x 4.5² A ) where A is surface area

= q  /( 5.5 x 4.5 A )

q_1/q_2 = 4.5

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N
