Answer:

the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

final velocity v = 0

initial velocity u = 15m/s

time taken t = 4 s

acceleration  a = ?

from the equation of motion        

v   =   u   +   at

we substitute

0 = 15 + a × 4

acceleration a = -15/4 =  - 3.75 m/s²    

the negative sign tells us that its a  deacceleration so the sign can be ignored.

Deacceleration due to friction a = μ × g

we substitute

3.75 = μ × 9.8    

μ = 3.75 / 9.8 = 0.3826 ≈ 0.38

Therefore the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

jasenka [17]

Answer:

U(3)=-43J

Explanation:

Potential energy is minus the integral of Fdx.  Doing the integration yields:

U=\int\limits {6.0x+12}\, dx

U=-3x^2-12x+C

U(0)=20J

so

U(0)=-3(0)^2+12(0)+C=20

C=20

Now for x=3.0m

U(3)=-3*(3)^2-12(3)+20

U(3)=-43J

"How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"
kicyunya [14]
We can answer the question by looking at the Ohm's law, which gives us the relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) of a circuit:
V=IR
equivalently, we can rewrite it as
I= \frac{V}{R}

by looking at the equation, we can make the following observations:
1) The current is proportional to the voltage: therefore, if the voltage increases, the current increases as well; if the voltage decreases, the current decreases too.
2) The current is inversely proportional to the resistance: if the resistance increases, the current decreases, and if the resistance decreases, the current increases.
