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.

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O
