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

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of each disk is:

Idisk = 1/2 MR²

Using parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of each rod is:

Irod = 1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²

The total moment of inertia is:

I = 2Idisk + 5Irod

I = 2 (1/2 MR²) + 5 [1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²]

I = MR² + 5/2 mr² + 5m (R − r)²

Plugging in values:

I = (125 g) (5 cm)² + 5/2 (250 g) (1 cm)² + 5 (250 g) (5 cm − 1 cm)²

I = 23,750 g cm²

Your friend from France came to visit you when she was packing she went on weather.com and found that the average temperature in
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Because there is not as much cold as it was in France.

Explanation:

The average temperature in France during January ranges from 2.7° to 7.2° celsius which makes it the coldest month of the year. But since she comes to know that average temperature in Annville ranges 31° celsius which implies that the temperature is normal there and therefore, she packs sleeveless tops and shorts. Coats would not be required in a hot weather and hence, she does not pack it.

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .
