Newton's law of inertia says that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion. The coffee was moving the same speed as the car and continued to do so even after the car itself had stopped.

The automobile has a weight of 2700 lb and is traveling forward at 4 ft>s when it crashes into the wall. If the impact occurs
alex41 [277]

Answer:

F_b=153918\, lb.ft.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

mass, m=2700 \,lb

time, t=0.06\,s

velocity, v=4\,ft.s^{-1}

coefficient of kinetic friction between wheels & pavement, \mu=0.3

According to first condition,

F\times \Delta t=m\times v

F\times 0.06= 2700\times 4

F=180000\,lb.ft.s^{-2}

According to second condition,

<u>Magnitude of frictional force (which acts opposite to the direction of motion):</u>

f=\mu.N

where N is the normal reaction.

f=0.3\times 2700\times 32.2

f=26082 \,lb.ft.s^{-2}

Now, the impulsive force on the wall if the brakes were applied during the crash:

F_b= F-f

F_b=180000-26082

F_b=153918\, lb.ft.s^{-2}

What the heck is friction
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Friction is a force that makes an object slow down. Not speed up, cause it to move, or occurs in a vacuum. Friction is often caused by the surface an object is moving on.
