A van has a weight of 4000 lb and center of gravity at Gv. It carries a fixed 900 lb load which has a center of gravity at Gl. I

f the van is traveling at 40 ft/s, determine the distance it skids before stopping. The brakes cause all the wheels to lock or skid. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the pavement is . Assume that the two rear wheels are one normal, NB, and the two front wheels are one normal, NA.

Answer:

 x = 25 / μ     [ ft]

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use Newton's second law.

Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the road

Y axis  

       N_B + N_A - W_van - W_load = 0

       N_B + N_A = W_van + W_load

X axis

     fr = ma

     a = fr / m

the total mass is

        m = (W_van + W_load) / g

the friction force has the expression

      fr = μ N_{total}

      fr = μy (W_van + W_load)

we substitute

      a = μ (W_van + W_load)    \frac{g}{W_van + W_load}

      a = μ g

taking the acceleration let's use the kinematic relations where the final velocity is zero

       v² = v₀² - 2 a x

       0 = v₀² -2a x

        x = \frac{v_o^2}{2a}

        x = \frac{v_o^2}{2 \mu g}

        x = \frac{40^2}{2 \ 32 \  \mu}

        x = 25 / μ     [ ft]

THE DOPPLER EFFECT. Anyways, it would have a higher whistle as it approaches you, when it gets to you it only gets quieter because it leaves after. Think of a motorcycle going by, its loud coming to you then as it passes it gets quieter.

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s
