I know
the answer do you want me to help you?
When you start sliding the couch, you have to overcome the static friction of the carpeted floor, which is usually very big, especially due to the texture of the carpet. However, as long as you get it moving, you only have to apply the force to overcome the kinetic friction, which is smaller than the static friction.
Answer:
The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.
Explanation:
Since speed = distance/time;
time = distance/speed.
While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour
(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.
So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,
New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour
New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.
Hope this Helps!!!
