If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

The diameters of apples from a certain farm follow the normal distribution with mean 4 inches and standard deviation 0.4 inch. A
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is 0.1056.

Explanation:

For a normal distribution, z score is calculated using this formula:  (X-μ)/σx

Where Mean, μ = 4

Standard deviation, σ = 0.400

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is expressed below:

Probability = P(X<3.5)

                  = P(Z<-1.25)

Probability  = 0.1056
