The car is moving with a speed v0 = 48 mi/hr up the 4-percent grade, and the driver applies the brakes at point A, causing all w

heels to skid. The coefficient of kinetic friction for the rain-slicked road is μk = 0.61. Determine the stopping distance sAB. Repeat your calculations for the case when the car is moving downhill from B to A.

Answer:

s = 0.2203 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The initial speed vo = 48 mi/hr

- The mass of the car m

- The coefficient of kinetic friction uk = 0.61

- The slope of the road 4-percent grade

Find:

Determine the stopping distance sAB. Repeat your calculations for the case when the car is moving downhill from B to A.

Solution:

- Apply the energy principle with work done against friction:

                             K.E_1 + P.E_1 = Wf + P_E_2 + K.E_2

- The final velocity of car is zero, K.E_2 = 0

  The initial potential energy is set as zero, P.E_1 = 0

                             K.E_1 = Wf + P_E_2

                             0.5*m*vo^2 = Ff*s + m*g*h

Where, Ff is the frictional force:

                             Ff = uk*N

Where, N is the normal contact force between car and road. By equilibrium equation we have:

                             m*g*cos(θ) - N = 0

                             N = m*g*cos(θ)

Hence,

                             Ff = uk*m*g*cos(θ)

- The vertical distance travelled h is:

                             h = s*sin(θ)

- The energy equation is:

                             0.5*m*vo^2 = uk*m*g*cos(θ)*s + m*g*s*sin(θ)

                             0.5*vo^2 = uk*g*cos(θ)*s + g*s*sin(θ)

                             s*(uk*g*cos(θ) + g*sin(θ) ) = 0.5*vo^2

                             s = [0.5*vo^2 / (uk*g*cos(θ) + g*sin(θ) ) ]

- The slope = 4 / 100,

                      s = [0.5*48^2 / (0.61*8052.97*cos(2.29) + 8052.97*sin(2.29) ) ]

                      s = 0.2203 miles

A department store buys 500 shirts at a cost of $3,500 and sells them at a selling price of $10 each. Find the percent markup.​
Ratling [72]

Answer: 30 percent.

Step-by-step explanation: First do 3,500 divided by 10 to find the cost of each shirt. Second subtract 7 from 10 which is 3. Then divide 3 by ten because you always divide by the amount being paid for. So 3 divided by 10 is .3 then multiply .3 by 100 which is 30 and that is your percent markup

Apollo 8 orbited the moon in a circular orbit. Its average altitude was 185 km above the moon's surface. Create an equation to m
Marta_Voda [28]
You probably haven't learnt this but the general equations for circle with centre at the origin is x^2+y^2=R^2 where R is the radius of the circle so R^2=(1737+185)^2.I am lazy to press my calculator so type it in yourself.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x -2 and passes
White raven [17]

Answer:

A. y=-1/3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular gradients(slopes) are negative reciprocals so

m=-1/3  then use the point (6,8) to find the equation of the line

y=mx+b

8=(-1/3)(6)+b

8=-2+b

b=10

y=-1/3x+10
