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)

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?
Tems11 [23]
Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.
