Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same velocity when the driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the

wheels. The most massive car is car F, the least massive is car H, and all three cars have identical tires.
Which car travels the longest distance to skid to a stop?

Answer:

Car H

Explanation:

Frictional force is a resistant force. It is given as:

F = u*m*g

Where u = coefficient of friction

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

From the formula above, we see that frictional force is dependent on the mass of object and the coefficient of friction.

Since they all have the same tires, the coefficient of friction between the tire and the floor is the same for each car. Acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant.

The only factor that determines the frictional force of each car is the mass. Hence, the more the mass, the more the frictional force.

So, the most massive car will have the most frictional force and hence, will come to a stop quicker than the others. The least massive car will have the least frictional force and so, will take a longer time to stop.

Why does the uv from the sun hurt our eyes. Plz help
Oksanka [162]
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is controlled by the ozone but if it infiltrates into the atmosphere it becomes a hazard. The uv reaches our eyes and darkens the retina and blurs vision. The fovea becomes insensitive and the cells dormant. This causes gradual blindness.

If a negatively charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field which is perpendicular to the particle's velocity, wi
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Same

Explanation:

While moving through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to a B-field, a continuous force experienced by a charged particle. If this magnetic field remains uniform, the force exerted also remains same and hence the velocity with which the particle is moving remains same. However, the particle is forced to move on a curved path until it forms a complete circle.

Hence, the kinetic energy remains the same because the speed is same

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w
user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

p\propto T

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}

where in this problem:

p_1=0.981 atm is the initial pressure of the gas

T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm
