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.

Two objects 5 kg and 7 kg are attached to the end of inextensible string which passes over frictionless pulley
Bumek [7]

Answer:

ans:

tenson(T) = 20 N

acceleration (a) = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

T + mg = Mg

T = Mg - mg

T = g( M - m )

T = 10× ( 7-5 )

T = 20 N

again;

T = 20

Ma = 20

a = 20 / 7

= 2.86 m/s

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

When Simon grows (let’s say he doubles his mass) what happens to his GPE when he is at the balcony?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

His gravitational potential energy will increase as well.

Explanation:

Let gpe represent gravitational potential energy.

gpe = mass × gravitational field strength × height

From the formula above, we can conclude that as the mass of a body increases, it's gpe increases too.
