Answer:
t = 0.33h = 1200s
x = 18.33 km
Explanation:
If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:
car 1:
(1)
xo = 10 km
v1 = 55km/h
car 2:
(2)
v2 = 85km/h
For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:
The position in which both cars coincides is:
Answer:
a) KE = 888.26J
b) N = 294.5 turns
Explanation:
For the kinetic energy:
The inertia is:
So, the kinetic energy will be:
Now, friction force is:
Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N
The energy balance would be:
Kf - Ko = Wf where Kf=0; Ko = 888.26J; and Wf is the work done by friction force.
Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R where N is the amount of turns it gives.
Replacing these values into the energy balance:
0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12
-888.26=-0.96*π*N
N=294.5 turns
