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.

A truck is driving over a scale at a weight station. When the front wheels drive over the scale, the scale reads 5800 N. When th
aev [14]

Answer:

x_2=1.60m

Explanation:

From the Question We are told that

Initial Force F_1=5800N

Final Force F_2=6500N

Distance between the front and rear wheels \triangle x=3.20 m

Since

 \triangle x=3.20 m

Therefore

 x_1+x_2=3.20

 x_1=3.20-x_2

Generally the equation for The center of mass is at x_2 is mathematically

given by

 x_2 =\frac{(F_1x_1+F_2x_2)}{(F_1+F_2)}

 x_2=3.20F_1-\frac{x_2F_1+F_2x_2}{(F_1+F_2)}

 2*F_1*x_2 =3.20F_1

 x_2=1.60m

2 resistors of resistance 1000 ohm and 2000 ohm are joined in series with a 100V supply. A voltmeter of internal resistance 4000
Vadim26 [7]
<h2>The voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt </h2>

Explanation:

The resistor 1000 ohm and 4000 ohm are connected in parallel .

Their combined resistance is supposed R₁

Thus \frac{1}{R_1} = \frac{1}{1000} + \frac{1}{4000}  

or R₁ = 800 ohm

Therefore the total resistance in circuit is = 2000 + 800 = 2800 ohm

Because these are in series .

We can find  current flowing through the circuit  I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{100}{2800} = \frac{1}{28}

here R is total resistance .

The potential difference across 1000 ohm = \frac{1}{28} x 1000 = 35.7 volt

Thus voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt
