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

A 40.0-mH inductor is connected to a North American electrical outlet (ΔVrms = 120 V, f = 60.0 Hz). Assuming the energy stored i
trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Inductance, L=40\ mH=40\times 10^{-3}\ H  

RMS value of voltage, v_{rms}=120\ V

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

We need to find the energy stored at t = (1 /185) s. It is assumed that energy stored in the inductor is zero at t = 0. So,  

The current flowing through the inductor is given by :

I_t=\dfrac{V_o}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})

I_t=\dfrac{\sqrt{2} V_{rms}}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})

I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi f L}\ sin(2\pi f t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})

I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi\times 60\times 40\times 10^{-3}}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185})-\dfrac{\pi}{2})    

I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt2}{15.07}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185}-\dfrac{\pi}{2})

I = 0.091 A

Energy stored in the inductor is, U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times 10^{-3}\times (0.091)^2

U = 0.000165 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the mass in kg of a leopard in a tree if the tree branch is 36 m up and the leopard's gravitational potential energy is
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

83.3kg

Explanation:

GPE = m × g × h

GPE = mass of leopard × 10 × 36m

29988J = 360 × mass

mass = 83.3kg

T=2pi square root 1/g solve for g.<br> Explanation would be really helpful.
Natalija [7]

I added individual steps for clarity. Note that g must be positive if the solution is to be real.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}=2\pi g^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\g^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{T}{2\pi}\\(g^{-\frac{1}{2}})^{-2} = (\frac{T}{2\pi})^{-2}\\g = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\,\,\,, g>0}

Let me know if you have any questions.

A 6 m/s vector pointing North is added to a 2 m/s vector pointing East. What are the magnitude and direction of the resultant?
irina [24]

Answer:

A + B = C      Ax = 2   Ay = 0    Bx = 0  By = 6

Ax + Bx = Cx = 2

Ay + By = Cy = 6

C = (2^2 + 6^2)^1/2 = 6.32

Tan Cy / Cx = 6 / 2 = 3

Cy at 71.6 deg
