While traveling on a horizontal road at speed vi, a driver sees a large rabbit ahead and slams on the brakes. The wheels lock an

d the car begins to slide against the road. The car collides with the rabbit at a final speed of vf, after T seconds of braking. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the tires against the road?

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)

An ac power generator produces 73.37 a (rms) at 4623 v. the voltage is stepped up to 105,033 v by an ideal transformer, and the

evablogger [386]

Step up transformer is a device which is used to step up the voltage which is input with some value.

This is based upon the principle of mutual inductance and in this the voltage input and voltage output is different because of number of turns.

Here if ideal transformer is given then power input and power output of the transformer must be same as there is no power loss in ideal transformer.

So we can write

$i_pV_p = i_sV_s$

here

$i_p$ = 73.37 A

$V_p$ = 4623 V

$V_s$ = 105033 A

now using above equation we will have

$73.37*4623 = 105033*i_s$

solving above we will have

$i_s = 3.23 A$

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles

belka [17]

Answer:

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u /> $F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of particle A, $m_a=363\ kg$

mass of particle B, $m_b=517\ kg$

mass of particle C, $m_c=154\ kg$

All the three particles lie on a straight line.

Distance between particle A and B, $x_{ab}=0.5\ m$

Distance between particle B and C, $x_{bc}=0.25\ m$

Since the gravitational force is attractive in nature it will add up when enacted from the same direction.

<u>Force on particle A due to particles B & C:</u>

$F_a=G. \frac{m_a.m_b}{x_{ab}^2} +G. \frac{m_a.m_c}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$

$F_a=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{363\times 517}{0.5^2}+\frac{363\times 154}{(0.5+0.25)^2})$

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u>Force on particle C due to particles B & A:</u>

<u /> $F_c=G.\frac{m_c.m_b}{x_{bc}^2} +G.\frac{m_c.m_a}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$ <u />

$F_c=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{154\times 517}{0.25^2}+\frac{154\times 363}{(0.25+0.5)^2} )$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u>Force on particle B due to particles C & A:</u>

<u /> $F_b=G.\frac{m_b.m_c}{x_{bc}^2} -G.\frac{m_b.m_a}{x_{ab}^2}$ <u />

<u /> $F_b=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{517\times 154}{0.25^2}-\frac{517\times 363}{0.5^2} )$ <u />

<u /> $F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$ <u />
