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

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

What is the median of 5 12 7 15 3 6 1
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The median is found by listing the numbers in order numerically and finding the one that is right in the middle. In this case you have 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 15 where the middle term is 6.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The centripetal force on body 2 is 8 times of the centripetal force in body 1.

Explanation:

Body 1 has a mass m, and its moving in a circle with a radius r at a speed v. The centripetal force acting on it is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Body 2 has a mass 2m and its moving in a circle of radius 4r at a speed 4v. The centripetal force on body 2 is :

F'=\dfrac{2m\times (4v)^2}{4r}\\\\F'=\dfrac{2m\times 16v^2}{4r}\\\\F'=8\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F'=8F

So, the centripetal force on body 2 is 8 times of the centripetal force in body 1.

When a guitar string is plucked, the guitar string oscillates as a result of waves moving through the string. The vibrations of
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave produced in string and waves produced in air are different . The only similarity is that their frequency are equal . Otherwise , no similarity . One is transverse ( on wire ) , the other is longitudinal ( air ) . Their velocities too are different .

velocity = wavelength x frequency

if frequency is constant

wavelength  ∝  velocity

wavelength is proportional to velocity . Since their velocities are different , their wavelength too will be different.
