Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each trav

els before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psi and goes a distance of 18.2 m; the other is at 105 psi and goes a distance of 92.6 m. Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2. What is the coefficient of rolling friction μr for the tire under low pressure?

Answer:

The coefficient of rolling friction will be "0.011".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial speed,

v_i = 4.0 \ m/s

then,

v_f=\frac{4.0}{2}

    =2.0 \ m/s

Distance,

s = 18.2 m

The acceleration of a bicycle will be:

⇒ a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{(2.0)^2-(4.0)^2}{2\times 18.2}

⇒    =\frac{4-8}{37}

⇒    =\frac{-4}{37}

⇒    =0.108 \ m/s^2

As we know,

⇒  f=ma

and,

⇒  \mu_rmg=ma

⇒       \mu_r=\frac{a}{g}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒       =\frac{0.108}{9.8}

⇒       =0.011

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{145-0}{4.45}\\\Rightarrow a=32.58\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as-u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.58\times 402-0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=161.84\ m/s

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! What are 3 types of forces acting on your marshmallow (or other flying object) when it impacts it’s target? C
Alekssandra [29.7K]
•Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (the object is putting force on the target, and the target is putting an equal amount of force back)
•Am object in motion (the object) will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it (the Target)

And as for the third one I really don’t know, those seem to be the only two, I’m sorry. I did what a could, Hope it kinda helps :)
