Ryan is driving home from work and notices a deer leaping onto the road about 25 m in front of his car. He immediately applies t

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

$v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\$

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

= 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

$a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}$

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

$F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N$

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

$F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56$

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56

A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61

A 55.0-kg lead ball is dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower is 55.0 m high. What is the speed of the ball after it

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The speed of the ball is 9.07 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the lead ball, m = 55 kg

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

We need to find the speed of the ball it has traveled 4.20 m downward, x = 4.2 meters

The initial speed of the ball will be 0 as it was at rest initially. Let v is the speed of the ball after it has traveled 4.20 m downward. It is a case of equation of motion such that :

$v^2-u^2=2ax$

$v^2=2ax$

Here, a = g

$v^2=2\times 9.8\times 4.2$

v = 9.07 m/s

So, the speed of the ball is 9.07 m/s. Therefore, this is the required solution of given condition.

How do the stars die?

mestny [16]

A star’s death also depends on its mass. The most massive stars quickly exhaust their fuel supply and explode in core-collapse supernovae, some of the most energetic explosions in the universe. A supernova’s radiation can easily (if only briefly) outshine the rest of its host galaxy. The remnant stellar core will form a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how much mass remains. If the core contains between 1.44 and 3 solar masses, that mass will crush into a volume just 10 to 15 miles wide before a quantum mechanical effect known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents total collapse. The exact upper limit on a neutron star mass isn’t known, but around 3 solar masses, not even neutron degeneracy pressure can combat gravity’s inward crush, and the core collapses to form a black hole.
