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

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

You are looking down on a N = 9 turn coil in a magnetic field B = 0.5 T which points directly down into the screen. If the diame
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the voltage is 2.27\times10^{-4}\ V and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 9

Magnetic field = 0.5 T

Diameter = 3 cm

Time t = 0.14 s

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

\phi=NAB

Put the value into the formula

\phi=9\times\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.5

\phi=0.003180

We need to calculate the emf

Using formula of emf

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

\epsilon=-\dfrac{0.003180}{0.14}

\epsilon =-0.000227\ V

\epsilon=-2.27\times10^{-4}\ V

Negative sign shows the direction of current.

Hence, The magnitude of the voltage is 2.27\times10^{-4}\ V and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Bx = -1.33 m and By = 2.81 m<br> Find the magnitude of the<br> vector.
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the magnitude of a vector is

B_{mag}=\sqrt{(-1.33)^2+(2.81)^2} and then round to the hundredths place:

3.11 m. Since we are in Q2, we can also find the direction of this vector:

tan^{-1}(\frac{2.81}{-1.33})=-64.7 but since we are in Q2, we add 180 degrees to the result, getting the angle to be 115.3
