A Go Kart (m = 35 kg) has a top speed of 12 m/s . A student traveling at top speed locks the brake to avoid hitting a bus after

school, skidding 7.2 meters before stopping. How much force did the Go Kart have when the student locked the brake?

Answer:

350 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of Go Kart = 35 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 12 m/s

Distance (s) = 7.2 m

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the Go Kart. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 12 m/s

Distance (s) = 7.2 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =.?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 12² + (2 × a × 7.2)

0 = 144 + 14.4a

Collect like terms

0 – 144 = 14.4a

– 144 = 14.4a

Divide both side by 14.4

a = – 144 / 14.4

a = – 10 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the Go Kart is decelerating when the brake was applied.

Finally, we shall determine the force the Go Kart have when the student locked the brake. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of Go Kart = 35 kg

Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 35 × 10

F = 350 N

Thus, the Go Kart has a force of 350 N when the student locked the brake.

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

You have family members and the relationship you observed in childhood affects the quality of your current relationships?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Yes, the relationships you observe in childhood affects the quality of your current relationships.

Explanation:

The saying,<em> "Children see, children do,"</em> is evidently true. A child's lifestyle and future relationships are greatly affected by the kind of relationships you allow him to see. Thus, it is very important that parents become role models for their kids.

For example, when your parents handle stress by shouting at each other, then most likely you'd also handle stress the same way in the future. So,<em> it is essential that the role models will show the child how to handle stress positively.</em> The experiences that children have at a young age affects their adult life.<u> It influences them and shapes them into who they will become.</u>

If people at home show positive relationships with each other and also supports a child regarding his education, then the child will most likely set positive relationships with his peers and achieve higher degree standards.

Thus, this explains the answer.

The tops of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge in San franciscoo , are 227 m above the water. Suppose a worker drops a 655 g w
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the wrench is, m=655\ g=0.655\ kg

Height of fall is, h=227\ m

Force of resistance is, F=0.141\ N

Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.

Now, potential energy at the top is given as:

U=mgh\\U=0.655\times 9.8\times 227\\U=1457.113\ J

Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.

Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.

⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.

Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:

W_{res}=Fh=0.141\times 227=32.007\ J

Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:

K=U-W_{res}\\\\K=1457.113\ J - 32.007\ J\\\\K=1425.106\approx1425.11\ J

Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.
