Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Sun's shine comes from right above the Equator. The Equator is south from the Rocky Mountains, so the sunshine comes from south and the shade (the opposite direction of the sun) is north.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

W=-Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

W=-\mu mg d (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d

And solving for \mu, we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767
