The driver of a 1750 kg car traveling on a horizontal road at 110 km/h suddenly applies the brakes. Due to a slippery pavement,

the friction of the road on the tires of the car, which is what slows down the car, is 25% of the weight of the car. What is the acceleration of the car? How many meters does it travel before stopping under these conditions?

Answer: a=-2.4525 m/s^2

d=s=190.3 m

Explanation:The only force that is stopping the car and causing deceleration is the frictional force Fr

Fr = 25% of weight

W=mg

W=1750*9.81

W=17167.5

Hence

$Fr=\frac{25}{100} * -17167.5\\\\Fr=-4291.875 N$

Frictional force is negative as it acts in opposite direction

According to newton second law of motion

F=ma

hence

$a=Fr/m$

$a=-4291.875/1750\\a=-2.4525$

given

u= 110 km/h

u=110*1000/3600

u=30.55 m/s

to get t we know that final velocity v=0

$v^2=u^2+2as\\0=30.55^2-2*2.4525*s\\s=190.34m$

Explain ways that weak and strong nuclear forces are alike.

larisa [96]

They both use messenger particles to carry the force. Gluons for the strong force and W and Z for the weak. And both sets of particles solely with the sub atomic particles of the nuclei: quarks and neutrinos. That is, their range is limited to the nuclei of the atoms and the ions.

A skater extends her arms horizontally, holding a 5-kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis with an angular

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$1.98$ rev/s

Explanation:

$m$ = mass attached to each hand = 5 kg

$r_{i}$ = initial distance of masses in each hand = 1 m

$r_{f}$ = final distance of masses in each hand = 0.1 m

$I$ = moment of inertia of body = 5 kgm²

$I_{i}$ = initial total moment of inertia = $I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}$

$w_{i}$ = initial angular velocity = 1 rev/s

$I_{f}$ = final total moment of inertia = $I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}$

$w_{f}$ = final angular velocity = ?

Using conservation of angular momentum

$I_{i} w_{i} = I_{f} w_{f}$

$(I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}) w_{i} = (I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}) w_{f}$

$(5 + 2 (5) (1)^{2}) (1) = (5 + 2 (5) (0.1)^{2}) w_{f}$

$w_{f} = 2.94$ rev/s

Why does a small pebble sin in water?

strojnjashka [21]

A small pebble would sink in water because it is to light and can’t hold itself up in the water. Hope this helped!

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The ball moves from lowest to highest point:

W = M g h = 3 * 9.8 * 4 = 118 J

This is work done "against" gravity so work done by gravity is -118 J

The tension of the string does no work because the tension does not

move thru any distance W = T * x = 0 because the length of the string is fixed.

Un resorte se alarga 5 cm bajo la acción de una fuerza de 39,2 N. ¿Cuál es la constante del resorte? Si ahora la fuerza es 68,6

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$k=784 N/m$

$\Delta x=8,8 cm$

Explanation:

Usando la ley de Hook tenemos:

$F=k\Delta x$

Solving it for k we have:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}$

$k=\frac{39,2}{0,05}$

$k=784 N/m$

Usando la misma ecuación y sabiendo k tenemos:

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{68,6}{784}$

$\Delta x=8,8 cm$

Espero esto te ayude!
