At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy

day, and the coefficient of kinetic friction was estimated to be 0.42. Use this data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Use the work-energy principle to solve this problem. (While you are doing the problem think about why the car’s mass does not matter.)

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

$W=\Delta K.E$

$\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v^2=2\mu g d$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}$

$v=26.91\ m/s$

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Answer:27 m/s

Explanation:

Given

car's skid length is 88 m long

coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.42

let the mass of car be m and v be the velocity with which it was running initially.

Friction force $=\mu mg=0.42\times m\times g$

work done by friction force =change in the kinetic energy of car

work done by Friction $=\mu mg\cdot L=\mu mg \times 88cos(180)$

Change in the Kinetic Energy $=0-\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\mu mg \times 88cos(180)=0-\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$0.42\times m\times g=\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 0.42\times 9.81\times 88}=\sqrt{725.155}=26.92 \approx 27 m/s$

Mass of car does not matter because in the final expression m gets cancelled.

3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this

Vaselesa [24]

No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

A closely wound, circular coil with a diameter of 4.30 cm has 470 turns and carries a current of 0.460 A .

Nadusha1986 [10]

Hi there!

a)
Let's use Biot-Savart's law to derive an expression for the magnetic field produced by ONE loop.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}$

dB = Differential Magnetic field element

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

R = radius of loop (2.15 cm = 0.0215 m)

i = Current in loop (0.460 A)

For a circular coil, the radius vector and the differential length vector are ALWAYS perpendicular. So, for their cross-product, since sin(90) = 1, we can disregard it.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{r^2}$

Now, let's write the integral, replacing 'dl' with 'ds' for an arc length:
$B = \int \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{ids}{R^2}$

Taking out constants from the integral:
$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int ds$

Since we are integrating around an entire circle, we are integrating from 0 to 2π.

$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0 \, ds$

Evaluate:
$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} (2\pi R- 0) = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2R}$

Plugging in our givens to solve for the magnetic field strength of one loop:

$B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (0.460)}{2(0.0215)} = 1.3443 \mu T$

Multiply by the number of loops to find the total magnetic field:
$B_T = N B = 0.00631 = \boxed{6.318 mT}$

b)

Now, we have an additional component of the magnetic field. Let's use Biot-Savart's Law again:
$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}$

In this case, we cannot disregard the cross-product. Using the angle between the differential length and radius vector 'θ' (in the diagram), we can represent the cross-product as cosθ. However, this would make integrating difficult. Using a right triangle, we can use the angle formed at the top 'φ', and represent this as sinφ.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} sin\theta}{r^2}$

Using the diagram, if 'z' is the point's height from the center:

$r = \sqrt{z^2 + R^2 }\\\\sin\phi = \frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}}$

Substituting this into our expression:
$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{(\sqrt{z^2 + R^2})^2} }(\frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}})\\\\dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{iRd\vec{l}}{(z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}} }$

Now, the only thing that isn't constant is the differential length (replace with ds). We will integrate along the entire circle again:
$B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0, ds$

Evaluate:
$B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} (2\pi R)\\\\B = \frac{\mu_0 iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}$

Multiplying by the number of loops:
$B_T= \frac{\mu_0 N iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}$

Plug in the given values:
$B_T= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (470) (0.460)(0.0215)^2}{2 ((0.095)^2 + (0.0215)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \\\\ = 0.00006795 = \boxed{67.952 \mu T}$

The spider will cross the driveway <u>25.71 in seconds</u>.

Why?

It's a conversion problem, so, in order to solve it, we need to convert the units of the given information.

Let's convert the given speed (in cm/s) to m/s.

We know that:

$1m=100cm$

So, converting we have:

$14\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.14\frac{m}{s}$

Then, calculating the time, we have:

$distance=speed*time\\\\3.6m=0.14\frac{m}{s}*time\\\\time=\frac{3.6m}{0.14\frac{m}{s}}=25.71s$

We have that the spider will cross the driveway in 25.71 seconds.

Have a nice day!
