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

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Explanation:

From Biot Savart's law, the magnetic field formula is given as

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = magnetic field = (1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) T

μ₀ = magnetic constant = (4π × 10⁻⁷) H/m

r = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

(1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × I)/(2π × 0.036)

4π × 10⁻⁷ × I = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵ × 2π × 0.036

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Hope this Helps!!!

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

Find the radius Rrigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m

Explanation:

energy radiated (H) = 2.7 x 10^31 W

surface temperature (T)  = 11,000 k

assuming ε = 1 and taking σ = 5.67 x 10^{-8} W/m^{2}.K^{4}

we can find the radius of the star from the equation below

H = A x  ε x σ x T^{4}              

where area (A) = 4 x π x r^{2} (assuming it is a sphere)

therefore  the equation becomes

H = 4 x π x r^{2} x  ε x σ x T^{4}  

2.7 x 10^31  = 4 x π x r^{2} x  1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}

r = \sqrt{\frac{2.7 x 10^31}{4 x π x 1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}} }

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m
