A traffic accident detective measures the skid marks left by a car, 825kg. He determines that the distance between the point tha

t the driver slammed on the brakes and the point where the car came to a stop was 34.0 m. From a reference manual he determines that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road under the prevailing conditions was 0.300. How fast was the car going when the driver applied the brakes? (This car was not equipped with anti-lock brakes.

Doing a force balance on the car:
ma = Fr
ma = μmg
a = μg
a = 0.3(9.81)
a = 29.43 m/s2

Using the formula:
2ax = v2
2(29.43)(34) = v2
v = 44.74 m/s = 161.05 km/h

The car was going 44.74 m/s or 161.05 kph when the brakes were applied.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No because like my other answer if we put to many diesels on it it will crack and little by little it will break eventually everyone will come tumbling into the water making them drown because they can't get the buckles loose or they wanted to save their families lives

If a mass of .343 kg moves down a 5m ramp in 5.8 seconds, what is the velocity and KE developed by the moving mass
Soloha48 [4]

Velocity 0.86m/s

0.13J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 0.343kg

distance = 5m

time taken = 5.8s

Unknown:

Velocity of mass = ?

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. It is a vector quantity that shows magnitude and direction.

 Mathematically;

   Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

  Velocity  = \frac{5}{5.8 } = 0.86m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is expressed mathematically as:

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2}  m v^{2}

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2 }   x    0.343  x    0.86^{2} = 0.13J

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y
brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

E=mc^{2}

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg
