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

Answer:

a = Δv/t = (vf - vi)/t = (0 - 5)/4 = -1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

You may or may not need the negative sign, depending on how the question designer was thinking about the problem.

As ice melts, more sunlight is absorbed. As more sunlight is absorbed, the atmosphere heats up. As the atmosphere heats up, more
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

Moving a charged object against an electrical force causes it to
Alinara [238K]

Decelerate

<u>Explanation:</u>

If a charged object is moving against an electric force, the electric force would cause the charged object to decelerate. Rate of deceleration would depend on the amount of the charge the object posses and amount of the opposing electric force.

This could be understood by visualising a hypothetical situation where a charged object is moving against an electric force. Since the object is charged, it would exert a force in its direction of motion which would be opposed by the electric force, thus causing it to decelerate

Which type of acceleration would be best if you were merging onto the interstate?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

If merging onto an interstate, it is best to merge at the speed of the moving traffic.

Explanation:

As a driver, you cannot always count on the other drivers to see you wanting to merge onto the interstate, and even if they see you, they might not be willing to stop just so you merge, therefore it is best advised to look for a gap in the traffic and merge at the traffic speed.
