Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.383. At what minimum rate wo

uld the car have to accelerate so that a quarter placed on the back wall would remain in place?

Answer:

25.59 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula for the force of static friction:

$f_s = \mu_s N$ --- (1)

where;

$f_s =$ static friction force

$\mu_s =$ coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Also, recall that:

F = mass × acceleration

Similarly, N = mg

here, due to min. acceleration of the car;

$N = ma_{min}$

From equation (1)

$f_s = \mu_s ma_{min}$

However, there is a need to balance the frictional force by using the force due to the car's acceleration between the quarter and the wall of the rocket.

Thus,

$F = f_s$

$mg = \mu_s ma_{min}$

$a_{min} = \dfrac{mg }{ \mu_s m}$

$a_{min} = \dfrac{g }{ \mu_s }$

where;

$\mu_s = 0.383$ and g = 9.8 m/s²

$a_{min} = \dfrac{9.8 \ m/s^2 }{0.383 }$

$\mathbf{a_{min}= 25.59 \ m/s^2}$

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

$x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2$

where

$a = 6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

$x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2$

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

$u_B = 20 m/s$

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get $x_B=0$ , which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

$x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s$

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?

andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.

____ is the force that moves people to behave, think, and feel the way they do, resulting in behavior that is energized, directe

pogonyaev

Answer:

Motivation

Explanation:

Motivation is the force that directs one's behavior. This force is required for repeated actions. There are two types of motivation:

Intrinsic

This type of motivation is comes from the individual

Extrinsic

This type of motivation is comes from an external influence.

Both conscious and unconscious factors influence motivation.

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

$s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$ .

Thus, impulse

$= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

From Newton`s second law,

$F =mg$

Therefore, impulse

$= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}$

Given, $m = 7.3 kg$ and $s = 2.0 m$

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse

$= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns$ .
