Answer:

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Explanation:

In this case we see that driver use the brakes to stop the car by means of kinetic friction force. Deceleration of the car is directly proportional to kinetic friction coefficient and can be determined by Second Newton's Law:

\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a (Eq. 1)

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g = 0 (Eq. 2)

After quick handling, we get that deceleration experimented by the car is equal to:

a = -\mu_{k}\cdot g (Eq. 3)

Where:

a - Deceleration of the car, measured in meters per square second.

\mu_{k} - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that \mu_{k} = 0.0735 and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then deceleration of the car is:

a = -(0.0735)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The stopping distance of the car (\Delta s), measured in meters, is determined from the following kinematic expression:

\Delta s = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a} (Eq. 4)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

If we know that v_{o} = 15.9\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} and a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, stopping distance of the car is:

\Delta s = \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(15.9\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

\Delta s = 175.319\,m

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

          x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

          x = 2²/(2 0.8)

         x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B

A planned high-speed train between Houston and Dallas will travel a distance of 386 kilometers in 5.40 × 10^3 seconds. What is t
Mazyrski [523]

¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³\rightarrow 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

                                                    \boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

<u></u>

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

¿Good Luck?

An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s
