It states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time
Here try this. The pic is the answer
Kinetic energy depends on the mass and the speed of a moving object.
If the speeds are equal, then the rick with more mass has more kinetic energy.
Answer:
x = 25 / μ [ ft]
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we can use Newton's second law.
Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the road
Y axis
N_B + N_A - W_van - W_load = 0
N_B + N_A = W_van + W_load
X axis
fr = ma
a = fr / m
the total mass is
m = (W_van + W_load) / g
the friction force has the expression
fr = μ N_{total}
fr = μy (W_van + W_load)
we substitute
a = μ (W_van + W_load)
a = μ g
taking the acceleration let's use the kinematic relations where the final velocity is zero
v² = v₀² - 2 a x
0 = v₀² -2a x
x =
x =
x =
x = 25 / μ [ ft]
