A car of mass 2 320 kg is descending a sloping road, inclined at 10.0° to the horizontal. The driver sees a hazard and brakes to

make an emergency stop. The distance travelled while braking is 22.5 m.
The initial speed of the car was 13.4 m s−1. Calculate the average braking force. Assume air resistance is negligible.

f = 1.32×10^4 N

Explanation:

We can use the work-energy theorem to find the work done by the braking force f:

W = ∆KE + ∆PE

= (KEf - KEi) + (PEf - PEi)

= [(1/2)mvf^2 - (1/2)mvi^2] + (mhf - mghi)

At the bottom of the slope, vf = 0 and hf = 0 and hi = dsin10° (d = braking distance) so work W becomes

W = -[(1/2)mvi^2 + mgdsin10°]

= -m[(1/2)vi^2 + gdsin10°]

= -(2320kg)[(1/2)(13.4m/s)^2 + (9.8 m/s^2)(22.5m)sin10]

= -2.97×10^5 J

Since W = fd, where f is the braking force, we can now solve for f:

f = W/d = (-2.97×10^5 J)/(22.5 m)

= -1.32×10^4 N

Note: the negative sign means that it is a dissipative force.

A spring stretches 5 cm when a 300-N mass is suspended from it. Calculate the spring constant in N / m .
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

Explanation:

Given:

Length of spring stretches = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Force = 300 N

Find:

Spring constant in N / m

Computation:

Spring constant in N / m = Force/Distance

Spring constant in N / m = 300 / 0.05

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

suggest an experiment to prove that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area vapour already present in su
gulaghasi [49]
That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

<u>Experiment A:</u>

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================

<u>Experiment B:</u>

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section.  Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================

The __ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Vlad [161]
<span>The SLOPE of a position-time graph represents an object’s SPEED.

It's not possible to tell the object's velocity from the graph, because
the graph doesn't show anything about what direction the object is
moving, and you need to know the direction in order to know the velocity. </span>
