You are driving a 2420.0-kg car at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a wet, but straight, level road. As you approach an inters

ection, the traffic light turns red. You slam on the brakes. The car's wheels lock, the tires begin skidding, and the car slides to a halt in a distance of 26.8 m.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the wet road?

Answer:

U_k = 0.3731

Explanation:

First we will identify the important data of the question.

M = 2420 kg

V = 14 m/s

d = 26.8 m

U_k = ?

So, we will use the law of the conservation of energy, it says that:

E_i - E_f = W_f

therefore:

E_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2\\E_f = 0\\W_f = F_kd

where F_k is the friction force

Replacing on the first equation, we get:

\frac{1}{2}MV^2 -0 = F_kd

F_k is also equal to U_kN

where N is the normal force and Uk is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

solving the equation:

\frac{1}{2}(2420)(14)^2 = U_kN(26.8)

Before solve for U_k we need to know the value of N, so we use the law of newton as:

∑F_y = N - (2420)(9.8m/s) = 0

N = 23716

Finally, just solve for U_k as:

U_ k = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(2420)(14)^2 }{(26.8)(23716)}

U_k = 0.3731

Match the type of boundary with it's characteristic
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Transform= not destroyed or created  

Divergent= crust created  

Convergent= crust destroyed

Explanation:

The plates move in the opposite or away from each other at a transforming plate boundary. The two platform borders are not produced or destroyed in this case. As both plates converge on each other and thus destroy the plates for converging plate boundaries. When the plate is divergent, both plates shift away from each other by opening up and solidification for a new crust.

For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then
babunello [35]

ANSWER

Both trucks will move together with speed v = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

EXPLANATION

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two trucks

So here momentum of the two trucks before collision and after collision will remain same

So here we will have

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

so here we will have

v_{1i} = 10 m/s

v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 2000 kg

m_2 = 1000 kg

now we will have

2000\times 10 + 1000\times 0 = (2000 + 1000) v

v = \frac{20000}{3000} = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.
