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

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and the other leg measures 13 cm find the measure of the hypotenuse if necess
Amanda [17]

Answer:

17.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and the other leg measures 13 cm find the measure of the hypotenuse if necessary round the nearest 10th

To find the Hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, we solve using Pythagoras Theorem

Hypotenuse ² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = √Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Opposite = 12 cm

Adjacent = 13 cm

Hence,

Hypotenuse = √12² + 13²

= √144 + 169

= 17.691806013 cm

Approximately = 17.7 cm

Therefore, the measure of the Hypotenuse is 17.7 cm

30. Justify Reasoning The quotient of two negative integers results in an integer. How does the value of the quotient compare to
Ratling [72]
The quotient of 2 negative integers results in an integer.
-4/-2 = 2
the value of the quotient is positive whereas, the value of the original 2 integers are both negative. The reason being, is that when u divide two negatives, u get a positive.

The enrollment at Temple Junior High School has a change of ─ 60 over a 3 year period. What is the average change per year?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

- 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Change in enrollment = - 60

Period of time at which change occurred = 3 years

Average change per year :

Total change in enrollment / period at which change occurred

= - 60 / 3

= - 20

Average change of - 20 enrollments per year
