Answer:

86.14 meters.

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

velocity of car = 26 m/s

the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

µ = 0.4 (kinetic)

Let us take g = 9.81 m/s^2

Required

The distance x = distance in m

We know that

N = Fg = mg\\\\F_\mu  = -\mu N = \mu F_g = \mu mg\\\\KE = (1/2) mv^2

W = F*x  (Work is force times distance)

Step two:

Conservation of energy gives  

KE = W

Substituting gives  

(1/2) mv^2 = F \mu x\\\\(1/2) mv^2 = \mu mgx\\\\mv^2 = 2 \mu mgx

Solving for distance (x) gives  

x = mv^2  / 2 \mu mg

Simplifying

x = v^2 / 2 \mu g

Substitute:  

x = v^2 / 2 \mu g

x= 26^2/2*0.4*9.81

x=676/7.848\\\\x=86.14

Therefore, the minimum braking distance is 86.14 meters.

Is is false or true The closer objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
____ [38]

Answer:

<em>TRUE</em>

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects becomes<u><em> weaker</em></u><em> if the two objects are </em><u><em>moved apart</em></u> and <em>stronger</em><em> if they are brought </em><em>closer</em><em> together</em>; that is, the force depends on the distance between the objects

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous plan
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous planet increases linearly with the height of the atmosphere as measured from the top of a visible boundary layer, defined as 0 kilometers in altitude. The instruments on board can withstand a temperature of 601 K. At what altitude will the probe's instruments fail? A. 50 kilometers B. 80 kilometers C. 83 kilometers D. 100 kilometers E. 111 kilometers

Explanation:

A. 50 kilometers

Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kg*m/, and block B is -150 kg*m/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision =-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = p_{A1}= -100\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Momentum of block B = p_{B1}= -150\ kg\ ms^{-1}

After collision:

Momentum of block A = p_{A2}= -200\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision p_{B2}.

p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

-100-150=-200+p_{B2}

-250=-200+p_{B2}

Adding 200 to both sides.

200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200

-50=p_{B2}

∴ p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Momentum of block B after collision =-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}
