A 2020 kg car traveling at 14.2 m/s collides with a 2940 kg car that is initally at rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together

and move 2.12 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

Answer:

The answer is 3,064xe^{-4}

Explanation:

When the collision happens, the momentum of the first car is applied to the both of them.

So we can calculate the force that acts on both cars as:

  • The momentum of the first car is P = 2020 kg x 14.2 m/s = 28,684 kg.m/s
  • The acceleration of both cars after the crash is going to be a = P / mtotal which will give us a = 28,684 / (2020+2940) = 5.78 m/s
  • Since the second car was initially not moving, the final acceleration was calculated with the momentum of the first car.

Now we can find the force that acts on both of them by using the formula F = m.a which will give us the result as:

  • F = (2020+2940) x 5.78 = 28,684

The friction force acts in the opposite direction and if they stop after moving 2.12 meters;

  • Friction force is Ff = μ x N where μ is the friction coefficient and the N is the normal force which is (2020+2940) x 10 if we take gravitational force as 10, equals to 49,600.
  • F - Ffriction = m x V
  • 28,684 - μ x 49,600 = 4960 x 5.78
  • μ = 3,064xe^{-4}

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship 1=55A−(0.65A/s2)t2. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(A) Q = 321.1C (B) I = 42.8A

Explanation:

(a)Given I = 55A−(0.65A/s2)t²

I = dQ/dt

dQ = I×dt

To get an expression for Q we integrate with respect to t.

So Q = ∫I×dt =∫[55−(0.65)t²]dt

Q = [55t – 0.65/3×t³]

Q between t=0 and t= 7.5s

Q = [55×(7.5 – 0) – 0.65/3(7.5³– 0³)]

Q = 321.1C

(b) For a constant current I in the same time interval

I = Q/t = 321.1/7.5 = 42.8A.
