A car skids 18 m on a level road while trying to stop before hitting a stopped car in front of it. The two cars barely touch. Th

e coefficient of kinetic friction between the first car and the road is 0.80. A policewoman gives the driver a ticket for exceeding the 35 mi/h speed limit.
Determine the initial speed of the car.

Answer:

16.80856 m/s or 37.6 mph

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 18 m

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$a=-\frac{f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{\mu mg}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=-\mu g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2(-\mu g)s\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2(-\mu g)s-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2(-\mu g)s}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times (-9.81\times 0.8)\times 18}\\\Rightarrow u=16.80856\ m/s$

The initial speed of the car is 16.80856 m/s

Converting to mph

$1\ m/s=\frac{1}{1609.34}\times 3600\ mph$

$16.80856\ m/s=16.80856\times \frac{1}{1609.34}\times 3600\ mph=37.6\ mph$

The initial speed of the car is 37.6 mph

A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

Determine the angle of an incline that would yield a constant velocity, given the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10.

azamat

Answer:

$\theta=5.71^{o}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by drawing a free body diagram of the given situation (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can now do a sum of forces in the x and y direction. Let's start with the y-direction:

$\sum F_{y}=0$

$-W_{y}+N=0$

$N=W_{y}$

so:

$N=mgcos(\theta)$

now we can go ahead and do a sum of forces in the x-direction:

$\sum F_{x}=0$

the sum of forces in x is 0 because it's moving at a constant speed.

$-f+W_{x}=0$

$-\mu_{k}N+mg sen(\theta)=0$

$-\mu_{k}mg cos(\theta)+mg sen(\theta)=0$

so now we solve for theta. We can start by factoring mg so we get:

$mg(-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta))=0$

we can divide both sides into mg so we get:

$-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta)=0$

this tells us that the problem is independent of the mass of the object.

$\mu_{k} cos(\theta)=sen(\theta)$

we now divide both sides of the equation into $cos(\theta)$ so we get:

$\mu_{k}=\frac{sen(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$\mu_{k}=tan(\theta)$

so we now take the inverse function of tan to get:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\mu_{k})$

so now we can find our angle:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.10)$

so

$\theta=5.71^{o}$

I''l give brainliest. Please help. I hold 2 objects about 0.1 meters apart. What is the electrostatic force between the two obje

matrenka [14]

Answer:

F = K Q1 Q2 / R^2 where K = 9 * 10E9 (1 / 4 pi ∈0)

F = 9.00E9 * (4.6E-16)^2 / .01 = 1.90E-19 N
