The back shelf of a car has a physics textbook on it. The coefficient of static friction of 0.44 between the book and the surfac

e. If the car is initially moving at a speed of 16 m/s, in how short a distance can the car be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the book to slide forward (and hit the driver in the back of the head)? (This is why you should never keep packages on the back shelf of your car.)

Answer:29.68 m

Explanation :  

Given

coefficient of friction \mu =0.44

Car initial speed=16 m/s

The maximum acceleration that book can bear without sliding is \mu g

a_{max}=0.44\times 9.8=4.312 m/s^2

using v^2-u^2=2as

Final velocity v=0

-(16)^2=2(-4.31)s

s=\frac{256}{2\times 4.312}

s=29.68 m

I0/4

2. rms magnetic field is inversely proportional to distance, so the new rms magnetic field would be:
B0/2

3. average energy density is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so the new average energy density is:

Tamsen is interested in history, and read that because of its regular period, the pendulum constituted the basis of the most acc
geniusboy [140]

We will apply the concept of period in a pendulum, defined as the product between 2\pi by the square root of the length over gravity, this is mathematically

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Here,

T = Period

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

For the period to be 1 second, then we must look for the necessary length for such a requirement so

1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

(\frac{1}{2\pi})^2 = \frac{L}{9.8}

L = 9.8(\frac{1}{2\pi})^2

L = 0.2482m

The meter's length would be slight less than one-fourth of its current length. Also, the number of significant digits depends only on how precisely we know g, because the time has been defined to be exactly 1s.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A cyclist is traveling 10 m/s with an acceleration of 6 m/s2. How fast is the cyclist traveling at the end of 20 seconds
krok68 [10]

Answer:

<em>The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

The cyclist initially travels at 10 /s and it's accelerating at a=6m/s^2. We need to know the new speed when t= 20 seconds have passed.

Apply the above equation:

v_f=10+6\cdot 20

v_f=10+120

v_f=130\ m/s

The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s
