A crate having mass 50.0 kg falls horizontally off the back of the flatbed truck, which is traveling at 100 km/h. Find the value

of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and crate if the crate slides 50 m on the road in coming to rest. The initial speed of the crate is the same as the truck, 100 km/h.

Answer:

\mu = 0.786

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the crate is

v_i = 100 km/h

v_i = 27.78 m/s

now finally the crate will come to rest

so we have

v_f = 0

now the deceleration due to frictional force is given as

a = -\mu g

distance moved by the crate before it will stop is given as

d = 50 m

so we will have

0 - 27.78^2 = 2(-\mu(9.81))50

\mu = 0.786

A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver  = 50kg

Speed  = 35m/s

Time  = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

   F = mass x acceleration

So;

     F  = mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F  = 50 x \frac{35}{0.5}    = 3500N

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))

An object with a mass of 375g is moving with a constant velocity. It has a force of -20 N applied to it. Determine the accelerat
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Convert the mass to kg:

375g = 375/1000kg = 0.375kg

F = ma

-20 = 0.375a

a = -20/0.375

a = -53

The object is accelerating at 53m/s/s backwards assuming that the forward motion is positive.
