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:

Rotational kinetic energy = 0.099 J

Translational kinetic energy = 200 J

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere is I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2.

Explanation:

Rotational kinetic energy is given by

\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where <em>I</em> is the moment of inertia and <em>ω</em> is the angular speed.

For a solid sphere,

I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2

where <em>m</em> is its mass and <em>r</em> is its radius.

From the question,

<em>ω</em> = 49 rad/s

<em>m</em> = 0.15 kg

<em>r</em> = 3.7 cm = 0.037 m

\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{5} mr^2\omega^2 = \frac{1}{5} mr^2\omega^2

\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{5} (0.15\ \text{kg})(0.037\ \text{m})^2(49\ \text{rad/s})^2 = 0.099\text{ J}

Translational kinetic energy is given by

\text{TKE} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

where <em>v</em> is the linear speed.

\text{TKE} = \frac{1}{2} (0.15\ \text{kg})(52\ \text{m/s})^2 = 200\text{ J}

A small sculpture made of brass (rho brass = 8470 kg/m 3 ) is believed to have a secret central cavity. The weight of the sculpt
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Volume of secret cavity = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

Explanation:

The weight of the sculpture in air is 15.76 N

Mass of the sculpture = 1.61 kg

Mass = Volume x Density

1.61 = V x 8470

Volume of brass =1.90 x 10⁻⁴ m³

When it is submerged in water, the weight is 13.86 N.

That is

  Weight of sculpture - Weight of water displaced = 13.86 N

  15.76 - Weight of water displaced = 13.86

   Weight of water displaced = 1.9 N

   Mass of water displaced = 0.194 kg

 Mass = Volume x Density

  0.194 = V x 1000

  Volume of water displaced =1.94 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Volume of secret cavity =  Volume of water displaced - Volume of brass material

Volume of secret cavity = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴-1.94 x 10⁻⁴ = 0.04x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

A record spins at 33 rpm (revolutions per minute), which is an angular velocity of about 3.46 radians per second. What is the ap
lubasha [3.4K]

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to relate angular velocity to linear velocity.

v = \omega r

v = linear velocity (m/s)

ω = angular velocity (3.46 rad/sec)

r = distance from axis of rotation (.12 m)

Plug in the given values.

v = (3.46)(.12) = \boxed{.415 \frac{m}{s}}

A police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the p
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A.) 355 m/s

B.) 0.71 m

C.) 500Hz

Explanation:

Given that a police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the police car. Your car is also moving due east at 15.0 m/s relative to the earth, so the speed of the police car relative to you is zero. The siren of the police car is emitting sound of frequency 500 Hz. The speed of sound in the still air is 340 m/s

a.) What is the speed of the sound waves relative to you?

Since the car is moving away from the observer, the relative velocity will be:

Relative velocity = 340 + 15

Relative velocity = 355 m/s

b.) What is the wavelength of the sound waves at your location?

Using the wave speed formula

V = frequency × wavelength

Make wavelength the subject of formula.

Wavelength = Velocity / frequency

Wavelength = 355/500

Wavelength = 0.71 m

c.) What frequency do you detect?

Fo = Fs ( C + V ) / ( C + v )

Fo = Fs

That is, the frequency of the observer will be equal to the frequency of the source.

Therefore, Fo = 500Hz

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

  0

Explanation:

Assuming your graph and question match the attachment, the average speed is 0. The bug ends up where it started, so its displacement is zero.

  average speed = displacement/time = 0/(8 s)

  average speed = 0
