The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

$a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2$

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

$a=-3.6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

And substituting,

$F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N$

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is $\Delta T = 1795 K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature coefficient is $\alpha = 4 * 10^{-3 }\ k^{-1 }$

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

$R = R_o [1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

Where $R_o$ is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]$

Now from ohm law

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

$\frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]$

From the question we are told that

$I = \frac{I_o}{8}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]$

=> $\Delta T = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )$

$\Delta T = 1795 K$

Without:

The passenger will get seriously injured
Colliding with the windshield at 50km/h
Could result in death

With safety:

The seatbelt holds tge passengers body back so they dont collide with anything
Their head is cushioned by the airbag
The passenger might get minor injuries but nothing serious will happen

If a car is taveling with a speed 6 and comes to a curve in a flat road with radius ???? 13.5 m, what is the minumum value the c

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$\mu_s \geq 0.27$

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the car must be equal to mv²/R, where m is the mass of the car, v its speed and R the radius of the curve. Since the only force acting on the car that is in the direction of the center of the circle is the frictional force, we have by the Newton's Second Law:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R}$

But we know that:

$f_s\leq \mu_s N$

And the normal force is given by the sum of the forces in the vertical direction:

$N-mg=0 \implies N=mg$

Finally, we have:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R} \leq \mu_s mg\\\\\implies \mu_s\geq \frac{v^{2}}{gR} \\\\\mu_s\geq \frac{(6\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}}{(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(13.5m) }\\\\\mu_s\geq0.27$
