A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the

truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 46.1 m. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

-F_{f} + F = 0      

-F_{f} + ma = 0      

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

v_{f}: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

v_{0}: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

\mu = \frac{a}{g}  

\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}

\mu = 0.35

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

I hope it helps you!

Me finding out bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun what do you think about this ?
Goryan [66]
Answer:

Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

According,to the law of conservation of energy,the amount of energy in a closed system always stay constant. ... So,the amount of work output and other transformed energy is equal to the amount of energy inputs. • In this way,the conservation of energy is fulfilled by the machines.

A circular radar antenna on a coast guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 ghz. two small boats
solmaris [256]
By definition,
q = 1.22y/D

Where,
q = min. angle
y = wavelength
D = Aperture diameter = diameter of the antenna

At distance "x" from the antenna,
L =xq = 1.22xy/D
Where, L = Min. distance

But, y =c/f = (3*10^8)/(16*10^9) = 0.01875 m

Substituting;
L = 1.22*5*10^3*0.01875/2.1 = 54.46 m

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.
