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]

70 Kilogram hockey

Hit by 0.1 kilogram

50 Newton

Description:

So in this case this bacially means that one object is experiencing a force then another object.  So the answer to the question will be 50N.

Answer: 50N (3rd Law)

Hope this helps.

What is the force of gravity between two 50.0kg masses that are separated by 0.300m?3.71x10-8N5.59x10-7N2.78x104N1.85x10-6N
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\  \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.
