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.

Wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are __________________ the wavelengths of reradiated heat. question 2 options: faster th
MArishka [77]
I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.

An electron travels 0.01 m across an electric potential difference of 6 x 10^6 V. What is the force exerted on the electron? Typ
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

9.6\cdot 10^{-11}N

Explanation:

The force experienced by a charged particle immersed in an electric field is

F=qE

where

q is the charge of the particle

E is the strength of the electric field

For a uniform field, we can write

E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

d is the distance travelled

So we can rewrite the force as

F=\frac{q\Delta V}{d}

In this problem:

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of the electron

\Delta V=6\cdot 10^6 V is the potential difference

d = 0.01 m is the distance covered

Substituting, we find the force:

F=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(6\cdot 10^6)}{0.01}=9.6\cdot 10^{-11}N

What is the acceleration of a racing car if it’s speed is increased uniformly form 44m/s to 66 m/s over an 11 sec. period.
jonny [76]

Answer:

a=2\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 44 m/s

Final velocity, v = 66 m/s

Time, t = 11 s

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{66-44}{11}\\\\a=2\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 2\ m/s^2.
