A 970-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,

and the two cars skid forward 2.9 m before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact.

Answer:

22.73 m/s or 81.72 kph

Explanation

We can find the combined mass of both cars as

970 kg + 2300 kg = 3270 kg.

Then the normal force of the cars can be calculated as

F(n)= mg

Where g is acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2

3270 kg ×9.8 = 32046 kg*m/s^2.

coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80 × F(n)

Then the frictional force can be calculated as

= (32046kg*m/s^2 × 0.80 )

= 25636.8 kg*m/s^2

We can now calculate the work done that was used stopping the cars as

Frictional force × distance

(25636.8 kg*m/s^2 ) × 2.9m= 74346.72kg*m^2/s^2

From kinetic energy formula, the combined velocity of the car can be determined

E=0.5 M V²

√(2E/M) = V

√(2*74346.72kg*m^2/s^2 / 3270 kg) = V

V= √ (45.472)

V=6.743293m/s

the momentum of both cars can be determined as

6.743293m/s * 3270 kg

= 22050.57kg*m/s

Now the final momentum of both cars must be equal to the the momentum of

the sports car just prior to the collision. Therefore, the speed of the sports car at impact.

=(22050.57 kg*m/s) / 970 kg = 22.73 m/s

We can convert that to km/h.

22.73 m/s * 3600 s/h / 1000 m/km = 81.72 kph

In your own words tell me about the live cycle of a star (4-5 sentences)
balu736 [363]

Answer: Stars are formed in clouds of gas and dust, known as nebulae. Nuclear reactions at the centre (or core) of stars provides enough energy to make them shine brightly for many years. The exact lifetime of a star depends very much on its size.

What is universal laws of gravitation ​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping? express your answer using two significant figures
Montano1993 [528]

To prevent the crate from slipping, the maximum force that the belt can exert on the crate must be equal to the static friction force.


Ff = 0.5 * 16 * 9.8 = 78.4 N

a = 4.9 m/s^2


If acceleration of the belt exceeds the value determined in the previous question, what is the acceleration of the crate?


In this situation, the kinetic friction force is causing the crate to decelerate. So the net force on the crate is 78.4 N minus the kinetic friction force.


Ff = 0.28 * 16 * 9.8 = 43.904 N

Net force = 78.4 – 43.904 = 34.496 N

To determine the acceleration, divide by the mass of the crate.

a = 34.496 ÷ 16 = 2.156 m/s^2
