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

A force acts on a body of mass 13 kg initially at rest. The force
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Force that acted on the body was F = 13 N

Explanation:

If once accelerated, the body covers 60 meters in 6 seconds, then its velocity is 60/6 m/s = 10 m/s

When the force was acting (for 10 seconds) the object accelerated from rest (initial velocity vi = 0) to 10 m/s (its final velocity). therefore we can use the kinematic equation for the velocity in an accelerated motion given by:

v_f=v_i+a*t

which in our case becomes;

10\,m/s=0+a*(10\,s)

and we can solve for the acceleration as:

a = 10/10  m/s^2 = 1 m/s^2

Therefore the force acting on the body, based on Newton's 2nd Law expression: F = m * a is:

F = 13 kg * 1 m/s^2 = 13 N

What is heat energy on earth escapes into space
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Latent heat, along with birds, ride those rising columns of air. This brings up a third and the ultimate mechanism by which the Earth's heat escapes into space, which is electromagnetic radiation. Every object, including the Earth's surface, absorbs and radiates heat electromagnetically

The driver of a stationary car hears a siren of an approaching police car at a frequency of 280Hz. If the actual frequency of th
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The speed of the police car is 294 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the siren in air, f = 280 Hz

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Determine the wavelength of the sound in air to the stationary car:

v = fλ

where;

λ is wavelength of the sound

λ = v/f

λ = 343 / 280

λ = 1.225 m

Now, determine the speed at which the police car is approaching the stationary car;

The actual frequency of the police car, F = 240 Hz

V = Fλ

Where;

V is speed of the police car

λ is the distance between the police car and the stationary car, (wavelength)

V = 240 x 1.225

V = 294 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the police car is 294 m/s
