Acceleration causes a shift of weight to the ______.
marta [7]
Vehicle weight shifts can be backward forward. In this particular case accelerating to fast would cause a shift of weight backwards. Breaking too quickly on the other hand would cause weight to shift forward. You have seen this while in a car or a bus at the traffic light. As the vehicle breaks you are pulled forward as it starts moving you are pulled backwards.

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s

Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

4.18

Explanation:

Givens  

The car's initial velocity  v_{i}= 0 and covering a distance Δx = 1/4 mi = 402.336 m in a time interval t = 4.43 s.  

Knowns

We know that the maximum static friction force is given by:

f_{s_max} =μ_s*n                         (1)

Where μ_s is the coefficient of static friction and n is the normal force.  

Calculations  

(a) First, we calculate the acceleration needed to achieve this goal by substituting the given values into a proper kinematic equation as follows:

Δx=v_{i} +\frac{1}{2} at^2

a=41 m/s

This is the acceleration provided by the engine. Applying Newton's second law on the car, so in equilibrium, when the car is about to move, we find that:  

f_{y}=n-mg=0\\ n=mg\\f_{x}=F-f_{s,max} =0\\ f_{s,max}=F=ma\\

Substituting (3) into (1), we get:

f_{s,max}= μ_s*m*g

Equating this equation with (4), we get:

ma=  μ_s*m*g

 μ_s=a/g

      =4.18

A drag racer crosses the finish line doing 212 mi/h and promptly deploys her drag chute. (A.) what force must the drag chute exe
Svet_ta [14]

initial speed of the racer is given as

v_i = 212 mi/h

v_i = 212*\frac{1609}{3600} = 94.75 m/s

after applied force the final speed is given as

v_f = 45 mi/h

v_f = 45 * \frac{1609}{3600} = 20.11 m/s

now during this speed change the racer will cover total distance 185 m

so here we will use kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

20.11^2 - 94.75^2 = 2*a*185

a = -23.2 m/s^2

now the force that chute will exert on the racer will be given as

F = ma

F = 898* 23.2

F = 2.1* 10^4 N

B) here following is the strategy for solving it

1. first we used kinematics to find the acceleration of the car

2. then we used Newton's II law (F = ma) to find the force
