Answer:
1. -8.20 m/s²
2. 73.4 m
3. 19.4 m
Explanation:
1. Apply Newton's second law to the car in the y direction.
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
Apply Newton's second law to the car in the x direction.
∑F = ma
-F = ma
-Nμ = ma
-mgμ = ma
a = -gμ
Given μ = 0.837:
a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.837)
a = -8.20 m/s²
2. Given:
v₀ = 34.7 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -8.20 m/s²
Find: Δx
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(0 m/s)² = (34.7 m/s)² + 2 (-8.20 m/s²) Δx
Δx = 73.4 m
3. Since your braking distance is the same as the car in front of you, the minimum safe following distance is the distance you travel during your reaction time.
d = v₀t
d = (34.7 m/s) (0.56 s)
d = 19.4 m
Answer: m= 2.16 kg
Explanation: Momentum is expressed in the following formula:
p = mv
Derive to find m:
m = p / v
= 4.75 kg.m/s / 2.2 m/s
= 2.16 kg
Cancel out m/s and the remaining unit is in kg.
Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 
Explanation:
To calculate the density, we use the equation:

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g
Density of piece of jewellery = ?
Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is
