Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mas of car=870 kg
coffee mug mass=0.47 kg
coefficient of static friction between mug and roof
Coefficient of kinetic Friction
maximum car acceleration is
here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect
1) See graph in attachment
2) 10 s
3) 50 m
Explanation:
1)
In this problem, we have an object initially moving with a velocity of
v = 10 m/s
when the time is
t = 0 s
Then, we are told that the speed of the object is decreasing by 1 m/s every second. This means that on a velocity-time graph, the motion will be represented by a straight line, starting from v = 10 when t = 0, and decreasing by 1 m/s every second.
The result can be found in the graph in attachment.
Moreover, we can also infer that the motion of the object is accelerated (because velocity is changing), and that the acceleration is constant and it is equal to
which is equivalent to the gradient of the line in the velocity-time graph.
2)
In this part, we want to find after what time the body will stop its motion.
To do that, we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
In this problem:
u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the body
is the acceleration
v = 0 m/s, because we want to find the time T at which the body will stop
Re-arranging the equation, we find:
3)
In order to find the total distance covered by the body during its accelerated motion, we have to use another suvat equation:
where
s is the distance covered
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
In this problem:
u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity
is the acceleration
t = 10 s is the time it takes for the body to stop (found in part 2)
Solving for s, we find the distance covered:
