A policeman investigating an accident measures the skid marks left by a car on the horizontal road. He determines that the dista

nce between the point that the driver slammed on the brakes (thereby locking the wheels) and the point where the car came to a stop was 28.0 m. From a reference manual he determines that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road under the prevailing conditions was 0.300. How fast was the car going when the driver applied the brakes

Answer:

The car was 12.8m/s fast when the driver applied the brakes.

Explanation:

The equations of motion of the car in the horizontal and vertical axes are:

x: f_k=ma\\\\y: N-mg=0

Since the kinetic friction is defined as f_k=\mu_kN and N=mg we have:

\mu_kmg=ma\\\\a=\mu_kg

Next, from the kinematics equation of speed in terms of distance, we have:

v^2=v_0^2-2ax\\\\v^2=v_0^2-2\mu_kgx

Since the car came to a stop, the final velocity v is zero, and we get:

0=v_0^2-2\mu_kgx\\\\v_0=\sqrt{2\mu_kgx}

Finally, plugging in the known values, we obtain:

v_0=\sqrt{2(0.300)(9.81m/s^2)(28.0m)}\\\\v_0=12.8m/s

It means that the car was 12.8m/s fast when the driver applied the brakes.

<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue. 2. absorb emitted neutrons control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction. 3. mass of unstable atoms nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor. 4. concrete and lead enclosure shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment. 5. energy transfer medium coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F  is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction.  q  is the charge of the particle.  v  is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction.  B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd.  Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

                                                  ∮B dl=μ0 I

                                                  B ∮dl=μ0 I

                                                  B 2πr=μ0 I

                                                   B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

                                               dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.

An object starts from rest and uniformly accelerates at a rate of 1.25 m/s2 for 7.0 seconds.
stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Since its accelerating, the velocity vs time graph is linear

For displacement we need initial velocity (which is zero because it starts from rest) and final velocity (which is calculatee thro acceleration formula

A= (vf - vi)/t

a= vf-0/t

1.25=vf / 7

1.25*7=vf

8.75 = vf

Now for displacement plug all the values in

X = 1/2(vf-vi)/t formula

The displacement (x) is 30.625 m

For part 3, we know new displacement that is 22m , the final and initial velocities are the same so just plug in the values for same formula above

The answer is t = 5.02

Im pretty sure all the answers are correct
