At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 98 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi

cient of friction was estimated to be 0.38. a) Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.b) Why does the car's mass not matter?

Answer:

a. V = 19.1m/s

b. The mass of the car does not matter

Explanation:

A.

KE = 1/2mv² = fd --------(1)

Fd = umgd ---------(2)

Therefore,

1/2mv² = umgd ---------(3)

M will cancel itself out from both sides of equation 3.

Then we will have:

1/2v² = ugd

Then we cross multiply to make v² the subject of the formula

V² = 2ugd

V = √2ugd -------(4)

U = 0.38

g = 9.81

d = 98

When we input these values into equation 4, we will have:

V = √2x0.38x9.81x98

V = √730.6488

V = 27.03m/s

B.

The mass of the car does not actually matter as the mass was cancelled out on the both sides of equation 3

I don't understand how to find the frequency and period of wavelengths. Can anyone help me?
nordsb [41]

Frequency of a wave =

                 (speed of the wave) divided by (wavelength)
or
                 (1) divided by (period of the wave) .


Period of the wave =

                   (wavelength) divided by (speed of the wave)
or
                   (1) divided by (frequency of the wave) .

What should you do if your boat capsizes answers?
nalin [4]
Many of the boating fatalities take place after capsize, but a modest list of things to do before and after a capsize can minimize boat accidents and boat accident injuries. 

Initially there is an significant list of thing to do before you even step on the boat:

1. Take the boat safety and water safely courses
2. Make certain that yourself and everyone else on the boat is wearing a well-fitting and safe life jacket.
3. Go over the place of the safety items with everyone on the boat as well as the location of the horn of the boat and the flare of the boat.
4. Paint bright color the hull of the boat in order to be seen easily from the air.

After a capsize, there are significant steps to make

1. Stay calm
2. Execute a head count and check everybody for injuries or immediate dangers.
3. Ensure that everyone has floatation device that coolers and other items that can be used. 
4. Stay in the capsized boat unless dangerous.
5. Try to right the boat if someone has a knowledge on how to do so.
6. Use signal devices such as flares, bright colored life jacket, whistles, flashlights and mirror.
7. Try to reboard or climb onto it in order to get as much of your body out of the cold water as possible because treading water will ground to lose body heat sooner. 
8. Do not waste energy and only signal when needed. Try to keep warm and stay strong<span />

The density of a glass is 2.5 g/cm3. if the glass breaks, what is the density of the smaller pieces​
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Density will remain the same since density is the relationship between mass and volume. As we can see in the equation below.

Ro=m/V

where:

Ro = density = 2.5 [g/cm³]

m = mass [g]

V = volume [cm³]

In such a way that when the glass is broken the small fragments retain the same density ratio. That is, each fragment has a small mass and a small volume. That's why the density remains the same.

sineoko [7]

Answer: There is an unsolved mystery surrounding Titan's atmosphere: Because methane is broken down by sunlight, scientists believe there is another source that replenishes what is lost. One potential source of methane is volcanic activity, but this has yet to be confirmed.
