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

What other factor affected the gravitational force between the two objects in this simulation?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases

A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.14 g and a charge of -22.0 nc . it is 10 cm directly above an identical sphere with the sam
Allushta [10]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's law written in equation as:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electrical force
k is a constant equal to 9×10⁹ 
Q₁ and Q₂ are the charge of the two objects
d is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the values:

F = (9×10⁹)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)/(0.10 m)²
F = 0.0004356 N

One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction
Sophie [7]

Answer:

F = 156.3 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the top block, apply Newton's second law

         F - fr = 0

         F = fr

         fr = 52.1 N

Now we can work  with the bottom block

In this case we have two friction forces, one between the two blocks and the other between the block and the surface. In the exercise, indicate that the two friction coefficients are equal

we apply Newton's second law

Y axis

        N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

        N = W₁ + W₂

as the two blocks are identical

        N = 2W

X axis

        F - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0

        F = fr₁ + fr₂

indicates that the lower block is moving below block 1, therefore the upper friction force is

          fr₁ = 52.1 N

          fr₁ = μ N

a

s the normal in the lower block of twice the friction force is

          fr₂ = μ 2N

          fr₂ = 2 μ N

          fr₂ = 2 fr₁

we substitute

          F = fr₁ + 2 fr₁

          F = 3 fr₁

          F = 3  52.1

          F = 156.3 N

A small block with a mass of 0.0600 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Figur
pogonyaev

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that mass of block=0.0600 kg

Initial speed of block=0.63 m/s

Distance of block  from the hole when the block is revolved=0.47 m

Final speed=3.29 m/s

Distance of block  from the hole when the block is revolved=9\times 10^{-2}m

a.We have to find the tension in the cord in the original situation when the block has speed =v_0=0.63 m/s

T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Because tension is equal to centripetal force

Substitute the values

T=\frac{0.06\times (0.63)^2}{0.47}=0.05 N

b.v=3.29 m/s

T=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{0.06\times (3.29)^2}{0.09}=7.2 N

c.Work don=Final K.E-Initial K.E

W=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v^2_0)

W=\frac{1}{2}(0.06)((3.29)^2-(0.63)^2)

W=0.31 J

What type of plate boundary decreases the amount of the Earth's crust?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.
