This question is typical on some driver license exams: A car moving at 43 km/h skids 17 m with locked brakes. How far will the c

ar skid with locked brakes at 129 km/h? Assume that energy loss is due only to sliding friction.

The new stopping distance is 152.6 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where in the initial situation, we have:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 43 km/h = 11.9 m/s is the initial velocity

s = 17 m is the stopping distance

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-(11.9)^2}{2(17)}=-4.2 m/s^2

The acceleration depends only on the sliding friction: this means that it is constant also in the second situation, where we have

u = 129 km/h = 35.8 m/s

So we can use the same equation again to find s, the new stopping distance:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(35.8)^2}{2(-4.2)}=152.6 m

What is the most likely reason that Mendeleev placed tellurium before iodine?
Ilya [14]
Mendeleev watched that tellurium has compound properties like different components in its gathering, and he didn't realize that neutrons cause the more noteworthy nuclear mass. Mendeleev expressed that he anticipated that tellurium would have a lower nuclear mass than iodine.

As a new electrical technician, you are designing a large solenoid to produce a uniform 0.170 T magnetic field near its center.
lord [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field = permeability x turn density x current

Magnetic field = 0.22T

turn density = 4150 /1.6 = 2593.75 t/m

permeability : µ = k µ°

µ°= 4 π 10^-7

k = 1

I = 0.22 / 4 π 10^-7 * 2593.75 = 0.22 10^7 /32594 = 67.497 A

What is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n?
Nitella [24]

117 m/sec is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n.

The wave speed v is given by

v= √τ/μ

​where τ is the tension in the rope and μ is the linear mass density of the rope.

The linear mass density is the mass per unit length of rope :

μ= m / L = (0.086 kg)/(3.1 m)=0.0277 kg/m.

v= \sqrt{ \frac{380 N}{0.0277 kg/m}}  = 117.125 m/sec (approx. 117 m/sec

In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids due to the shear stress generated; the oscillations in this case are the displacement of the solid particles away from their relaxed position, in directions perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. These displacements correspond to a local shear deformation of the material. Hence a transverse wave of this nature is called a shear wave. Since fluids cannot resist shear forces while at rest, propagation of transverse waves inside the bulk of fluids is not possible.

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer
