When you skid to a stop on your bike, you can significantly heat the small patch of tire that rubs against the road surface. Sup

pose a person skids to a stop by hitting the brake on his back tire, which supports half the 90 kg combined mass of the bike and rider, leaving a skid mark that is 48 cm long. Assume a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.80. How much thermal energy is deposited in the tire and the road surface?

Answer:

E = 169.34 J

Explanation:

First, we need to find the frictional force between the back tire and the road. For that purpose, we use the following formula:

f = μR = μW

f = μmg

where,

f = frictional force = ?

μ = coefficient of friction between tire and road = 0.8

g = 9.8 m/s²

m = mass supported by back tire = (0.5)(90 kg) = 45 kg

Therefore,

f = (0.8)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

f = 352.8 N

Now, for the heat energy we use the formula of work. Because, thermal energy will be equal to work done by frictional force:

E = W = fd

where,

E = Thermal Energy = ?

f = frictional force = 352.8 N

d = displacement = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

E = (352.8 N)(0.48 m)

<u>E = 169.34 J</u>

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3    conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1      where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9  =   (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.
