Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about Kinetic energy generation.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Interestingly, Kinetic energy in simple terms refers to the energy possessed by a body in motion.
It is often calculated using the formula E =
A good example of creating even more kinetic energy is a hand crank toy car that moves after you wind it a little, when the car moves it is generating another measure of K.E.
Answer:
The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is <u>0.833</u>.
Explanation:
Given:
Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m
Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s
Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".
As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.
The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:
Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.
Frictional force is given as:
Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,
Therefore, frictional force,
Now, frictional force = centripetal force
Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,
Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833
As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg
The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s
When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.
We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.
The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -
Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.
