You’re in the Nevada dessert and your 1800 kg car suddenly runs out of gas. You are going 25 m/s downhill towards a valley in th

e road, but luckily there is a gas station at the top of the hill on the other side of the valley. You throw your manual transmission car into neutral to coast down the hill and do a little calculation to pass the stressful time. Assume all forms of friction are negligible. (At present your car is at the 10m height of hill and the gas station is 15m height of the hill)
a) How fast will your car be going when it’s at the bottom of the hill? Solve using energy methods. b) Will you be able to get to the gas station? If so, how fast will you be going? If not, how far up the hill did you make it? c) If you model the bottom of the hill as an arc of a circle with radius 5 m, draw the free-body diagram for the car at the bottom of the hill. d) What is the normal force on your car from the road at the bottom of the hill?

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )  Total mechanical energy of the car at the height of 10 m

1/2 mv² + mgh

.5 x 1800 x 25² + 1800  x 9.8 x 10 m

= 562500 + 176400

738900 J  

If v be the velocity at the bottom ,

Total energy of the car at the bottom

1/2 m v² + 0

Applying conservation of energy

1/2 mv² = 738900

.5 x 1800 v² = 738900

v = 28.65 m /s

Energy required by car to ascend height of 15 m

1800 x 9.8 x 15

= 264600 J

b )

This energy is more that total energy of the car at the top that is 738900 J

so car can easily reach gas station .

If V be the velocity at the gas point

Total energy at the gas point

1/2 m V² +  264600

Applying conservation of energy

1/2 m V² +  264600   =738900

.5 x 1800 x V² = 474300

V = 22.95 m / s

d ) If R be the normal reaction at the bottom

net force

R - mg = m v² / r

R = m ( g +  v² / r )

1800 ( 9.8 + 28.65² / 5 )

R = 313136 N

Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Hope it helped! :>

To test the performance of its tires, a car
Rom4ik [11]

The coefficient of static friction is 0.222

Explanation:

In order for the car to remain in circular motion, the frictional force must be able to provide the necessary centripetal force. Therefore, the car will start skidding when the two forces are equal:

\mu mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the term on the left is the frictional force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the track

In this problem, we have:

r = 564 m

v = 35 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2

And re-arranging the equation for \mu, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

\mu = \frac{v^2}{gr}=\frac{35^2}{(9.8)(564)}=0.222

A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t  

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.
