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 is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Volume will be 15 mL. Solution:- If we look at the given information then it is Boyle's law as the temperature is constant and the volume changes inversely as the pressure changes. So, the volume of the air bubble at the surface will be 15 mL.

Which image shows both potential and kinetic energy?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The one in the middle

Explanation: i listened to the other person and i got it wrong, this is the answer for edge2020 sience review on energy!!!!

trust me its the middle one!!!!!

And everyone if ur not sure, like 100% sure about an answer dont answer at all cuz for 1: ur taking up a spot for others to answer. for 2: you could make people wrong. And for 3: its annoying. And 4: it makes stuff like this happen!

<u>NOT ARGUEING IM JUST PUTTING MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OUT THERE ;)</u><em> many thanks.</em>
