4. A 1,800 kg car is traveling at 40 m/s when the driver slams in the brakes to stop the car. The brakes apply a maximum force o

f 24,600 N. How far will
the car travel while coming to a stop?
O 117 meters
0 58.5 meters
O 29.3 meters

The brakes do

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = 0 - 1/2 (1800 kg) (40 m/s)² = -1.44 MJ (megaJoules)

of work on the car to stop it. They apply a negative force since the braking opposes the car's forward displacement, so the car stops over a distance <em>x</em> such that

<em>W</em> = (-24.6 kN) <em>x</em>   ==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 58.5 m

A medicine ball has a mass of 5 kg and is thrown with a speed of 2 m/s. what is its kinetic energy?
Fantom [35]
The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball and v=2 m/s is its speed. Substituting these numbers, we find the kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J

You are holding the axle of a bicycle wheel with radius
erastova [34]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the wheel is -6.54 rad/s²

Explanation:

We'll use the equations of motion for this.

w = 2πf

f = 75 rpm = 1.25 rps = 1.25 rev/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 2π × 1.25 = 7.85 rad/s

w = final angular velocity = 0 rad/s

t = 1.2 s

α = ?

w = w₀ + αt

0 = 7.85 + 1.2α

α = 7.85/1.2 = - 6.54 rad/s²

Describe the sequence of mechanical energy events that lets you hear the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Starting from the beginning.

There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.

The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.

That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.

These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).

Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".

Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.
