3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2ad$ (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

$F=ma=-\mu mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\mu = 0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

$a=-\mu g$

And we can substitute it into eq.(1) to find d:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2(\-mu g) d\\d= \frac{v^2-u^2}{-2 \mu g}=\frac{0-(24 m/s)^2}{-2(0.80)(9.8 m/s^2)}=36.7 m \sim 37 m$

Beats are the difference in (a) Frequency (b) Amplitude (c) Intensity (d) None

sasho [114]

Answer:

Beats are the difference in frequency.

(a) is correct option.

Explanation:

Beat :

Beat is the difference of the frequency of two waves.

The difference in frequency is equal to the number of beat per second.

Amplitude :

Amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement.

Frequency :

Frequency is the number oscillations of wave in per second.

Intensity :

Intensity is the power per unit area.

Hence, Beats are the difference in frequency.

A uniform stick 1.5 m long with a total mass of 250 g is pivoted at its center. A 3.3-g bullet is shot through the stick midway

Andru [333]

Answer:

63.44 rad/s

Explanation:

mass of bullet = 3.3 g = 0.0033 kg

initial velocity of bullet $v_{1}$ = 250 m/s

final velocity of bullet $v_{2}$ = 140 m/s

loss of kinetic energy of the bullet = $\frac{1}{2}m(v^{2} _{1} - v^{2} _{2})$

==> $\frac{1}{2}*0.0033*(250^{2} - 140^{2} )$ = 70.785 J

this energy is given to the stick

The stick has mass = 250 g =0.25 kg

its kinetic energy = 70.785 J

from

KE = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

70.785 = $\frac{1}{2}*0.25*v^{2}$

566.28 = $v^{2}$

$v= \sqrt{566.28}$ = 23.79 m/s

the stick is 1.5 m long

this energy is impacted midway between the pivot and one end of the stick, which leaves it with a radius of 1.5/4 = 0.375 m

The angular speed will be

Ω = v/r = 23.79/0.375 = 63.44 rad/s

A person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a

amid [387]

Answer: 180N/m(to 2 significant figures)

Explanation:

According to hooked law which states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically, F = ke where;

F is the applied force in newtons

k is the elastic/spring constant in N/m

e is the extension in meters

Given applied force = 35N

extension = 20cm = 0.2m

Since F = ke,

k = F/e = 35/0.2

k = 175N/m

The spring constant is 175N/m

= 180N/m (to 2significant figures)
