A 1000kg truck traveling at 108km/h skids 10m before it stops. What is the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the car?

Physics

Leokris [45]3 years ago
3 0

Given that,

Mass of truck = 1000 kg

Speed = 108 km/h = 30 m/s

Distance = 10 m

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

s = distance

Put the value into the formula

(0)^2=30^2+2\times a\times 10

a=-\dfrac{30^2}{2\times10}

a= -45 m/s^2

We need to calculate the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the truck

Using formula of force

F=ma

Where, m = mass of truck

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

F=1000\times(-45)

F= -45000\ N

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of motion.

Hence, The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the truck is 45000 N.

A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start
Semmy [17]

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

The amount of oxygen in the reactants is 4 atoms. In the products, the oxygen is distributed to water (H2O) and O2 gas. Which co
Reil [10]

Answer:

2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

Explanation:

This question is describing balancing a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical reaction has the same number of atoms of each elements on both the reactant and product side. According to the question, the reactants contains 4 atoms of oxygen. The reactants give rise to water (H20) and O2 in the products side.

This reaction is most likely the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as follows:

H2O2 (l) ----> H2O (l) + O2(g)

Based on the description, H2O2 will be 2H2O2 as it is said to contain four atoms of oxygen. This means that, in order to have a balanced equation, we must place coefficient 2 in front of water and coefficient 1 in front of oxygen. That is;

2H2O2 (l) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)

Answer:

Pressure, P = 32666.66 Pa

Explanation:

It is given that,

Surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150 cm² or 0.015 m².

Her weight is 50 kg

We need to find the pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on  her one foot. The force acting per unit area is called pressure. It can be given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{50\times 9.8}{0.015}\\\\P=32666.66\ Pa

So, the pressure is 32666.66 Pa.

It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the sp
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J

Distance, x = 0.1 m

(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m

(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m

So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J

So, the new work is more than 130 J.
