Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25

a=-5.76m/sec^2

We know that acceleration is given by

a=\mu g

5.76=\mu\times  9.81

\mu =0.587

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

What is harmonic motion
Tanzania [10]

Answer:  NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO

Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.

A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

v^2-u^2=2as

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}

a=-2.48\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice -2.48\ m/s^2 and negative sign shows deceleration.

Find the amount of force required to move an object of 1200 kg at a velocity of 54 km/hr?​​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

0 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:

mass = 1200 kg

acceleration = 0

F  = (1200)(0) = 0

A truck of mass 1800kg is moving with a speed 54km/h. When brakes are applied, it
EleoNora [17]

Force = 3200 N

Work done = 640, 000 Nm

Explanation:

We begin by calculating the deceleration of the truck, using the velocity and distance;

a = (v² – u²)/2s

whereby;

a = acceleration

v = initial velocity

u = initial velocity

s = distance

We begin by changing the speed from km/h into m/s;

54km/hr = 15m/s

Then acceleration;

a = (0² – 15²) / 2 * 200

a = -225 / 400

a = - 0.5625 m/ s²

To calculate force;

F = ma

Whereby;

F = force

M = mass (in kgs)

a = acceleration

F = 1800 / 0.5625

F = 3200 N

Work done = Force * displacement

Work done = 3200 * 200

= 640, 000 Nm
