A 12-kg turtle rests on the bed of a zookeeper's truck, which is traveling down a country road at 62.0 mi/h. The zookeeper spots

a deer in the road, and slows to a stop in 11 s. Assuming constant acceleration, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the turtle and the truck bed surface needed to prevent the turtle from sliding?

Answer:

0.25683

Explanation:

t = Time taken by the truck to stop = 11 seconds

u = Initial velocity of the truck = 62 mi/h

v = Final velocity of the truck = 0

a = Acceleration of the truck

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-\frac{62}{2.237}}{11}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.5196\ m/s^2

\mu mg=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{ma}{mg}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{a}{g}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{2.5196}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.25683

The minimum coefficient of static friction between the turtle and the truck bed surface needed to prevent the turtle from sliding is 0.25683

A woman climbs up a ladder in 1.37 s at 2.20 m/s. How tall is the ladder?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must use the following formula:

v = x/t

where v represents the woman’s velocity, x represents the distance she climbed (the height of the ladder), and t represents the time it took her to move this distance

If we plug in the values we are given for the problem, we get:

v = x/t

2.20 = x/1.37

To solve this equation for x (the height of the ladder), we must multiply both sides by 1.37. If we do this, we get:

x = (2.20 * 1.37)

x = 3.014 m

Therefore, the ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Hope this helps!

The angular momentum of an electron in each of its orbits must be some multiple of:
Nastasia [14]
The Bohr's proposal for the angular momentum of an electron in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is:

L=(n*h)/(2π), where n is the number of the energy level and h is the Planck's constant. This equation shows us the quantization of angular momentum of the electron. So the correct answer is the second one: Planck's constant.

The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of th
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.

Explanation:

To calculate the force exerted by the biceps, we calculate the momentum in the elbow.

This momentum has to be zero so that her forearm remains motionless.

Being:

W: mass weight (6.15 kg)

d_W= distance to the mass weight (0.425 m)

A: weight of the forearm (2.25 kg)

d_A: distance to the center of mass of the forearm (0.425/2=0.2125 m)

H: force exerted by the biceps

d_H: distance to the point of connection of the biceps (0.0215 m)

The momemtum is:

H*d_H-A*d_A-W*d_W=0\\\\H=(A*d_A+W*d_W)/d_H\\\\H=(2.25*0.2125+6.15*0.425)/0.0215\\\\H=(0.478125+2.61375)/0.0215\\\\H=3.091875/0.0215=143.8

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.
