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

One mole of titanium contains how many atoms?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 6.02*10^{23} \ atoms}}

Explanation:

One mole of a substance contains the same amount of representative particles. These particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units. In this case, the particles are atoms of titanium.

Regardless of the particles, there will always be <u>6.02*10²³</u> (also known as Avogadro's Number) particles in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, the best answer for 1 mole of titanium is D. 6.02*10²³ atoms.

A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught
meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2} (Eq. 1)

Where:

y_{o} - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

y - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that y = y_{o}, t = 3.56\,s and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the initial velocity of the softball is:

v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0

3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0

v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.
