Explanation:
When the car skids , its centripetal force is provided by frictional force .
Here centripetal force F =
here v is the velocity of car and r is the radius of the curve .
The frictional force f = μ R
here μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and R is normal reaction
Thus f = m g
On horizontal road R = mg
Thus F = f at the time of skid .
Thus v =
= = 9 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Average Acceleration </u>
Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.
Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>
When , the graph shows a value of
When , the object is at rest,
We compute the average acceleration as
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the critical angle be C .
sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .
sinC = 1 /1.2
= .833
C = 56°
Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )
sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence
sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67
i = 42°.
