Answer:

μ = 0.408

Explanation:

given,

speed of the automobile (u)= 20 m/s

distance = 50 m

final velocity  (v) = 0 m/s

kinetic friction = ?

we know that,

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = 20² + 2 × a × 50

a = \dfrac{400}{2\times 50}

a = 4 m/s²

We know

F = ma = μN

ma = μ mg

a = μ g

\mu = \dfrac{a}{g}

\mu = \dfrac{4}{9.81}

μ = 0.408

hence, Kinetic friction require to stop the automobile before it hit barrier is 0.408

Virty [35]

Complete Question

A ball having mass 2 kg is connected by a string of length 2 m to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A constant wind force of magnitude 13.2 N blows from left to right. Pivot Pivot F F (a) (b) H m m L L If the mass is released from the vertical position, what maximum height above its initial position will it attain? Assume that the string does not break in the process. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.What will be the equilibrium height of the mass?

Answer:

H_m=1.65m

H_E=1.16307m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of ball M=2kg

Length of string L= 2m

Wind force F=13.2N

Generally the equation for \angle \theta is mathematically given as

tan\theta=\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{13.2}{2*2}

\theta=73.14\textdegree

Max angle =2*\theta= 2*73.14=>146.28\textdegree

Generally the equation for max Height H_m is mathematically given as

H_m=L(1-cos146.28)

H_m=0.9(1+0.8318)

H_m=1.65m

Generally the equation for Equilibrium Height H_E is mathematically given as

H_E=L(1-cos73.14)

H_E=0.9(1+0.2923)

H_E=1.16307m
