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.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Somewhere in your book or your notes, you must have met the formula for the
gravitational attraction between two bodies.  If you can go back and find it, you
only need to plug your numbers into that formula, and out will pop the answer.

Formula:                            <u>Force = G (mA x mB) / (distance)²</u>

If everything is in SI units, then        G = 6.67 x10⁻¹¹ newton-meter² / kilogram²

You said that
                         mA = 8.1 kg
                         mB = 6.5 kg
                 distance = 0.5 m .

   Force = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ nt-m²/kg²) (8.1kg x 6.5kg / (0.5m)² =

                (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ nt-m²/kg²)    ( 52.65 kg² ) / (0.25 m²) =

                     <em>1.4047 x 10⁻⁸ newtons .</em>

That's roughly    5.052 x 10⁻⁸ ounce .  (5% of one micro-ounce)

An object weighs 79.1 N in air. When it is suspended from a force scale and completely immersed in water the scale reads 21.8 N.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(a). The density of the object is 1382 kg/m³.

(b). The density of the oil is 536.4 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in air = 79.1 N

Weight in water = 21.8 N

Weight in oil = 48.4 N

We need to calculate the volume of object

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=W_{air}=W_{water}

F_{b}=79.1-21.8

F_{b}=57.3\ N

F_{b}=\rho g h

Put the value into the formula

57.3=1000\times V\times 9.8

V=\dfrac{57.3}{1000\times9.8}

V=5.84\times10^{-3}\ m^3

We need to calculate the density

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=\rho Vg

79.1=\rho\times5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8

\rho=\dfrac{79.1}{5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8}

\rho=1382\ kg/m^3

The density of the object is 1382 kg/m³.

(b). We need to calculate the volume of object

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=W_{air}=W_{oil}

F_{b}=79.1-48.4

F_{b}=30.7\ N

We need to calculate the density

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=\rho_{oil} Vg

30.7=\rho_{oil}\times5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8

\rho_{oil}=\dfrac{30.7}{5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8}

\rho=536.4\ kg/m^3

The density of the oil is 536.4 kg/m³.

Hence, This is the required solution.
