Ryan is driving home from work and notices a deer leaping onto the road about 25 m in front of his car. He immediately applies t

he brakes, which causes him to skid. Luckily his speed was only 60 km/h before applying the brakes. If the mass of his car is 1490 kg, what coefficient of friction must exist between the tires and the road to stop the car in 25 m?

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

$v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\$

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

= 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

$a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}$

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

$F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N$

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

$F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56$

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56

Charge X has twice as much charge as particle Y. The two charges are placed near each other. Compared to the force on particle X

Art [367]

The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by

$F=k\frac{q_x q_y}{r^2}$ (1)

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_x, q_y$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

How would life on earth be different if earth’s axis were not tilted with respect to its orbit?

Vladimir [108]

If Earth's axis was "straight up and down" instead of tilted, then ...

<span>-- There would be no seasons.

-- The climate at any one place would be the same all year around.

-- The days would be the same length, everywhere,
    and all year around.

-- So would the nights.

-- The sun would be up a little more than 12 hours every day.
    It would be down a little less than 12 hours every day.

-- At the middle of the day, the sun would be at the same height
   in the sky all year around, not higher in some months and lower
   in others.

-- The equator would be the only place on Earth where the sun
    could ever be directly over your head.

-- If you were at the north pole or the south pole, the sun would be
   down on the horizon, and it would just go around and around you
   every day. It would never rise or set, and it would never get any
   higher or lower.

The current theory of the structure of the

Mariana [72]

Answers:

a) $2.82(10)^{21} kg$

b) $1410 J$

c) $36.62 m/s$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density $\rho$ is defined as a relation between mass $m$ and volume $V$ :

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho=2720 kg/m^{3}$ is the average density of the continent

$m$ is the mass of the continent

$V$ is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

$V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}$

Finding the mass:

$m=\rho V$ (2)

$m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3})$ (3)

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy $K$ is given by the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ (5)

Where:

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ is the mass of the continent

$v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s$ is the velocity of the continent

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2}$ (6)

$K=1410 J$ (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass $m=77 kg$ and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent $1413 J$ , we can find its velocity by isolating $v$ from (5):

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}}$ (6)

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}$

Finally:

$v=36.62 m/s$ This is the speed of the jogger
