The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t

he train is initially moving at a speed of 54 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

What does density have to do with heat?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

9V

Explanation:

The potential difference across the terminal as the same and thats because we are assuming that the source has no internal resistance.

Internal resistance are usually little resistances in the supply.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The datapoint 9.0 ppm is outlier at the 90% confidence level.

Explanation:

The old data has following values

mean=10.5 mm

standard deviation 0.2 mm

Now the mean of new values is calculated as following

mean=\frac{10+10.4+10.2+10.8+10.1+10.5+10.1}{7}\\mean=10.3 ppm

So the value as 9.0 ppm can be considered easily as outlier in  this regard.
