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

When starting a foot race, a 64 kilogram sprinter exerts an average force of 693 newtons backward on the ground for 0.59 seconds
cluponka [151]

The distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the sprinter</h3>

The acceleration of the sprinter is the rate of change of velocity of the sprinter with time.

The acceleration of the sprinter is calculated as follows;

Apply Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = ma

a = F/m

where;

  • F is the applied force by the sprinter
  • m is mass of the sprinter
  • a is acceleration of the sprinter

a = 693 N / 64 kg

a = 10.83 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled by the sprinter</h3>

The distance traveled by the sprinter is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

where;

  • u is initial velocity = 0

s = ¹/₂at²

where;

  • t is time of motion
  • a is acceleration

s = (0.5)(10.83)(0.59²)

s = 1.88 m

Thus, the distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

How much heat is absorbed by a 71g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 11oC to 29oC?
diamong [38]
The right formula to use for this calculation is the heat capacity formula, 
Heat absorbed, Q = MCT, Where 
M = Mass of the substance = 71
C = Specific heat capacity for iron = 0.450 J/gc
T = Change in temperature = 29 - 11 = 18
Q = 71 * 0.450 *18 = 575.10
The amount of heat absorbed by the iron skillet is 575 J.
