For this, we will use the formula:

<span>a = [V₀⁻V₁]÷t

</span>Where:

a - Acceleration
<span>V₀ - Final Velocity
</span>V₁ - Initial Velocity
<span>t - Time

</span>Given:
a = -2.0 m/s²
V₁ = 15.0 m/s
V₀ = 0 m/s ; because the car stopped

Find:
t = ?

Solution:

a = [V₀⁻V₁]÷t

First, we should derive the formula to the element that we are looking for (which is time).

t = [V₀⁻V₁]÷a
t = [0 m/s - 15.0 m/s]÷(-2.0 m/s²) ; substituting the numbers
t = -15.0 m/s ÷ -2.0m/s²
t = 7.5 seconds ; cancelling the removable units thus resulting only to the time unit s(seconds)

It took the car 7.5 seconds to stop

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
slega [8]
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
dI =r^2*dm
where dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from -a/2 to a/2
The moment of inertia is
I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3) (from (-a/2) toI=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12 (a/2))

Do quasars reside within or without side of galaxies?
sveticcg [70]

They almost entirely reside within galaxies because quasars are a subset of blackholes with a large and fast enough accretion disk to generate a beam of interstellar material perpendicular to itself. This typically only occurs in the largest black holes at the center of galaxies (supermassive blackholes) or at least stellar black holes---which still occur within galaxies because the material is necessary to form them.

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.101

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh

\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}

\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}

\mu_k=0.101

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.
