ycow [4]

Answer:

$\frac{0.065}{r}$

Explanation:

The maximum velocity of an object moving in a curve beyond which it will slide off the curve is given by the relationship in equation (1);

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}....................(1)$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface of the curve, g is acceleration due to gravity and r is the radius of the curve.

Given;

v = 0.8m/s

g = $9.81m/s^2$

r = ?

$\mu=?$

In order to solve for $\mu$ , we can simply make it the subject of formula from equation (1) as follows;

$v^2=\mu gr\\hence\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{gr}.................(2)$

since we were not given the value of r, we can just substitute other known values, then solve and leave the answer in terms of r.

Therefore;

$\mu=\frac{0.8^2}{9.81r}$

$\mu=\frac{0.64}{9.81r}\\\\\mu=\frac{0.065}{r}$

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a

seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, $d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m$

(a) Acceleration, $a=-4\ m/s^2$

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}$

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, $a=-8\ m/s^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}$

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$d_1 = 16 d$

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

now we have

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2$

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

$d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2$

$d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)$

$d_1 = 16 d$
