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]

A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o
vredina [299]

Answer:

Recoil speed, 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg

Speed of the comet fragment, v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s

Mass of Callisto, m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s
