Really, Gundy ? ! ?
The formula for the car's speed is given and discussed in the box. The formula is
v = √(2·g·μ·d)
Then they <em>tell</em> you that μ is 0.750 , and then they <em>tell</em> you that d = 52.9 m . Also, everybody knows that 'g' is gravity = 9.8 m/s² .
They also tell us that the mass of the car is 1,000 kg, and they tell us that it took 3.8 seconds to skid to a stop. But we already <em>have</em> all the numbers in the formula <em>without</em> knowing the car's mass or how long it took to stop. The police don't need to weigh the car, and nobody was there to measure how long the car took to stop. All they need is the length of the skid mark, which they can measure, and they'll know how fast the guy was going when he hit the brakes !
Now, can you take the numbers and plug them into the formula ? ! ?
v = √(2·g·μ·d)
v = √( 2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.75 · 52.9 m)
v = √( 777.63 m²/s²)
v = 27.886 m/s
Rounded to 3 digits, that's <em>27.9 m/s </em>.
That's about 62.4 mile/hour .
Answer:
a. dW = ∫pEsinθdθ b. W = p.E
Explanation:
a. We know torque τ = p × E = pEsinθ where θ is the angle between p and E
Let the torque τ rotate the dipole by an amount dθ. So, the workdone dW = ∫τdθ = ∫pEsinθdθ
b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to θ. So,
W = ∫₉₀⁰dW
= ∫₉₀⁰pEsinθdθ
= pE∫₉₀⁰sinθdθ
= pE(cosθ - cos90)
=pEcosθ
= p.E
Answer:
you must throw 3 snowballs
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment
Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator
p₀ = n m v₀
Where n is the snowball number
Final. When the refrigerator moves
pf = (n m + M) v
The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal
n m v₀ = (n m + M) v
n m (v₀ - v) = M v
n = M/m v/(vo-v)
Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton
F = m a
a = F / m
The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm
v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x
v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1
v₁ = 14.14 m / s
This is the initial speed for the crash
v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s
Let's calculate
n = M/m v/ (v₀-v)
n = 10/1 3 / (14.14 -3)
n = 2.7 balls
you must throw 3 snowballs
Answer:
K = 588.3 N/m
Explanation:
From a forces diagram, and knowing that for the maximum value of K, the crate will try to rebound back up (Friction force will point downward):
Fe - Ff - W*sin(22) = 0 Replacing Fe = K*X and then solving for X:

By conservation of energy:

Replacing our previous value for X and solving the equation for K, we get maximum value to prevent the crate from rebound:
K = 588.3 N/m
The equation of state for an ideal gas is

where p is the gas pressure, V the volume, n the number of moles, R the gas constant and T the temperature.
The equation of state for the initial condition of the gas is

(1)
While the same equation for the final condition is

(2)
We know that in the final condition, half of the mass of the gas is escaped. This means that the final volume of the gas is half of the initial volume, and also that the final number of moles is half the initial number of moles, so we can write:


If we substitute these relationship inside (1), and we divide (1) by (2), we get

And since the initial temperature of the gas is

, we can find the final temperature of the gas:
