The distance covered by an object starting from rest
and accelerating uniformly is . . .

                     Distance  =  (1/2 of acceleration) x (time)²

                                       = (1/2 · 9.8 m/s²)  x  (3.5 s)²

                                       =      (4.9 m/s²)  x  (3.5 s)²

                                        =      (4.9 m/s²)  x  (12.25 s²)

                                       =        (4.9 x 12.25)   meters

                                       =            60.025  meters

A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s
ankoles [38]

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

A loop of area 0.250 m^2 is in a uniform 0.020 0-T magnetic field. If the flux through the loop is 3.83 × 10-3T· m2, what angle
dangina [55]

Answer:

40.0⁰

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the magnetic flux is expressed as:

\phi = BAcos\theta where:

\phi is the magnetic flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the cross sectional area

\theta is the angle that the normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field.

Given

A = 0.250m²

B = 0.020T

\phi = 3.83 × 10⁻³T· m²

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.020*0.250cosθ

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.005cosθ

cosθ = 0.00383/0.005

cosθ = 0.766

θ = cos⁻¹0.766

θ = 40.0⁰

<em>Hence the angle normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field is 40.0⁰</em>

Is a force necessary to keep an object in motion?
weqwewe [10]
Well according to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will remain in the state of rest or linear motion provided that an *external force* has been applied. So no, a force doesn’t need to keep a body to remain in linear motion, because F=ma, during uniform linear motion velocity is constant, hence acceleration is zero, so F=0

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

v = r\omega

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}=\frac{4.71^2\frac{1}{s^2}\cdot 0.12m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}=0.27

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.
