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

the function y = 3.75 + 1.5(x - 1) can be used to determine the cost in dollars of x miles. What is the rate of change of the co
LenKa [72]

We are given

y=3.75+1.5(x-1)

where

y is the cost in dollars

x is distance in dollars

now, we can find derivative

y'=\frac{d}{dx}\left(3.75+1.5\left(x-1\right)\right)

=\frac{d}{dx}\left(3.75\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(1.5\left(x-1\right)\right)

=0+1.5

so,

y'=0+1.5

So,

the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles is 1.5.........Answer
