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

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

0.04

Explanation:

Fraction of power converted to sound = 80% = 0.08

Fraction incident upon each eardrum onstage = 0.08/2 = 0.04

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity
tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement  = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement  per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

     Velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

     Velocity =   \frac{4400}{14400} = 0.31m/s
