How is rate speed useful in everyday life

Physics

Rate of change of speed is the acceleration of something. If something is accelerating then a force is acting on it. In everyday life we need to calculate forces and make sure they are the right value.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

The temperature of a superconductor is gradually lowered. At the critical temperature, how does the resistivity of the supercond
san4es73 [151]

At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor

B. It suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:

  • Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
  • Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
  • Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
  • Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. It suddenly drops to zero

A rectangular block of copper has sides of length 15 cm, 26 cm, and 43 cm. If the block is connected to a 5.0 V source across tw
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm ,   i = 2.19 10⁸  A

Explanation:

Ohm's law is

          V = i R

Resistance is

         R = ρ L / A

Where L is the length of the electrons pass and A the area perpendicular to the current

      i = V / R

      i = V (A / ρ L)

      i = V / ρ  (A / L)

We can calculate the relationship between the area and the length to know in which direction the maximum currents

Case 1

      L = 0.15 m

      A = 0.26 0.43 = 0.1118 m2

      A / L = 0.1118 / 0.15

      A / L = 0.7453 m

Case 2

        L = 0.26 m

        A = 0.15 0.43 = 0.0645 m2

        A / L = 0.248 m

Case 3

       L = 0.43 m

       A = 0.15 0.26 = 0.039 m2

        A / L = 0.0907 m

We can see that the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm

Let's calculate the current

     i = 5 / 1.7 10⁻⁸ (0.7453)

      i = 2.19 10⁸  A

Two light bulbs are being used in a lab experiment with a single battery. Bulb A has half the resistance as Bulb B. Which bulb i
Naya [18.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

It is given that bulb A has the half the resistance as B

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES : In series circuit we know that current is same in the whole circuit

The power is given by P=i^2R the expression it is clear that the bulb which has more resistance consume more power as current is same, and the bulb which consume more power will be brightest

It is given that resistance of bulb A is half the resistance of B So bulb A will be dimmest in this case

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL : In parallel circuit voltage is same across the circuit

The power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R} from the expression it is clear that the bulb which has least resistance will consume more power and so will be brightest

As the resistance of bulb A is less so it will be brightest in this case
