Ber [7]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2

Holly puts a box into the trunk of her car. Later, she drives around an unbanked curve that has a radius of 48 m. The speed of t

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the curve, R = 48 m

Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s

To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:

The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:

$F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}$

$f_{s} = \mu_{s}mg$

where

$\mu_{s}$ = coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:

$F_{net} = f_{s} - F_{c}$

$0 = f_{s} - F_{c}$

$\mu_{s}mg = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}$

$\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{gR}$

$\mu_{s} = \frac{16^{2}}{9.8\times 48} = 0.544$
