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

Answer:

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

v=\omega\times A

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}

\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?
oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

A 500kg car is driving through a neighborhood at 20m/s. Then the car hits a speed bump which causes it to slow to 15m/s. What wa
lawyer [7]

Based on the formula for calculating impulse, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.

<h3>What is the impulse of the speed bump?</h3>

  • Impulse = change in momentum
  • momentum = mass * velocity

Change in momentum = mu - mv

where u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

Impulse = 500 * 20  - 500 * 15

Impulse = 2500 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.
