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.

The earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

<h3>At what degree the earth tilt?</h3>

This is tilted at 23 degrees from the vertical. The northern hemisphere is in the winter season.

This is the path as the earth revolves around the sun. It takes 1 year to complete this path.

This is the path as the earth rotates around its.

So we can conclude that the earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

What is the specific heat capacity of silver metal if 55.00 g of the metal
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.240 J/g/°C

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

47.3 cal = (55.00 g) C (15.0°C)

C = 0.0573 cal/g/°C

Usually, specific heat is measured in J/g/°C, so we can convert:

C = 0.0573 cal/g/°C × 4.184 J/cal

C = 0.240 J/g/°C

A dogsled team has a total momentum of 1710 kg•m/s. If the team has a total mass of 450 kg, what is its speed?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

3.8 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity hence

Momentum=mv where m is mass and v is the velocity of an object

Making v the subject of the formula then

v=\frac {momentum}{m}

Substituting 1710 kgm/s for momentum and 450 Kg for mass we obtain

v=\frac {1710 Kgm/s}{450 Kg}=3.8 m/s

Hence the speed of dogsled team is 3.8 m/s
