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

Answer:5.11(10)^{13}miles

Explanation:

A light year is a unit of length and is defined as "the distance a photon would travel in vacuum during a Julian year at the speed of light at an infinite distance from any gravitational field or magnetic field. "

In other words: It is the distance that the light travels in a year.  

This unit is equivalent to 5.879(10)^{12}miles, which mathematically is expressed as:

1Ly=5.879(10)^{12}miles

Doing the conversion:

8,7Ly.\frac{5.879(10)^{12}miles}{1Ly}=5.11(10)^{13}miles  This is the distance from Earth to Sirius in miles.

A wave has a wavelength of 5m and frequency of 5 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?​
Anna71 [15]
If you multiply m (the unit for wavelength) with 1s (the unit for frequency), you will get m/s, the unit for speed. Now multiply! 25 m/s is your final answer!

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

      vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

      0 = v₀² - 2ax

      a = v₀² / 2x

      a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

      a = 3.025 m / s²

      a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

      F = ma

      F = 900 3,025

      F = 2722.5 N
