Answer: 29.50 m
Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:
f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).
f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a
then
a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2
With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train
as follows:
x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2
Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a
Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
Answer: a= 37m
Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t
15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m
There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m
Answer:
Friction
Explanation:
Friction keeps things from sliding into things according to newton's laws
