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.

Brut [27]
<h2>Answer: Albedo </h2>

The <u>albedo</u> is an amount that expresses the percentage of radiation a surface reflects with respect to the incident radiation.

In other words:

This amount allows us to know the level of radiation that <u>reflects</u> a surface compared to the total <u>radiation it receives</u>.

According to this, light surfaces such as snow covered ground or white sand will have a higher albedo than dark surfaces such as carbon covered ground. It is also important to note, the albedo will be higher on glossy surfaces than on matte surfaces.

It should be noted that the albedo of the Earth is on average about 37\%, which means that part of the radiation received by the Sun is absorbed and another part reflected back to space.

A 0.5 μF and a 11 μF capacitors are connected in series. Then the pair are connected in parallel with a 1.5 μF capacitor. What i
NISA [10]

Answer:

C_{eq}=1.97\ \mu F

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance 1, C_1=0.5\ \mu F

Capacitance 2, C_2=11\ \mu F

Capacitance 3, C_3=1.5\ \mu F

C₁ and C₂ are connected in series. Their equivalent is given by :

\dfrac{1}{C'}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}

\dfrac{1}{C'}=\dfrac{1}{0.5}+\dfrac{1}{11}

C'=0.47\ \mu F

Now C' and C₃ are connected in parallel. So, the final equivalent capacitance is given by :

C_{eq}=C'+C_3

C_{eq}=0.47+1.5

C_{eq}=1.97\ \mu F

So, the equivalent capacitance of the combination is 1.97 micro farad. Hence, this is the required solution.

The energy photon affects which property of light
Triss [41]

Answer:

photoelectric effect

Explanation:

When the energy from photons is absorbed by matter, the matter can emit electrons. This process is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is a property of light that is not explained by the theory that light is a wave.

Severus Snape knows that density of his powder is 3.00 g/cm3 . He also knows he needs 3.00 cm3 of this powder. What mass in gram
harina [27]

Answer:

He requires 1 gram of mass.

Explanation:

The density is defined as:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}  (1)

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

Then, m can be isolated from equation 1 in order to determine the mass.

m = \rho \cdot V (2)

m = (3.00g/cm^{3})(3.00cm^{3})  

m = 1g  

Hence, he requires 1 gram of mass.
