Answer:

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)

Explanation:

Given

Vi = initial velocity of the car

Vf = final velocity of the car

T = Time of application of brakes

g = acceleration due to gravity (known constant)

Let the mass of the car be Mc

Assuming only kinetic frictional force acts on the car as the driver applies the brakes,

The n from Newtown's second law of motion.

Fk = Mc×a

Fk = μk×Mc×g

a = (Vf - Vc)/T

Equating both preceding equation.

μk×Mc×g = Mc × (Vf - Vc)/T

Mc cancels out.

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

A student attaches a rope to his
erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

​f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as <em>Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.</em>

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.

A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0

Help me with this???
Vikentia [17]

Yo sup??

Average velocity=total distance covered/total time taken

total distance covered=4 + 8=12 miles

total time taken=6 hours

Therefore

average velocity=12/6

=2 miles/hour

Hope this helps

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
