You first need to convert the hours into minutes, then use the speed equals distance over time formula.

A truck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. How strong must the rope be? μk

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation

Acceleration calculation

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck

ac: car acceleration $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

at: truck acceleration $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

$ac = at= \frac{vf-vi}{t-ti}$ equation(1)

Known information:

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

vf = Final speed = 13 $\frac{m}{s}$ , t = final time =5 s

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

$ac = at = \frac{13-0}{15-0}$

$ac=ac=\frac{13}{15} \frac{m}{s}$

Dynamic analysis

The forces acting on the car are the following:

Wc: Car weight

N: normal force, road force on the car

Ff: Friction force

T: Force of tension

Car weight calculation:

$Wc=mc*g$

mc = Car mass = 2230kg

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$Wc= 2230*9.8$

$Wc=21854 N$

Normal force calculation:

Newton's first law

$sum Fy= 0$

$N-W=0$

$N=W$

$N=21854 N$

Friction force calculation (Ff):

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:

Ff = μk * N Equation (3)

μk kinetic coefficient of friction

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N ,then:

$Ff=0.373*21854$

$Ff=8151.54 N$

Calculation of the tension force in the rope (T):

Newton's Second law

$sum Fx= mc*ac$

$T-Ff=mc*ac$

$T=2230(\frac{13}{15}) + 8151.54$

T=10084,21 N

Answer: The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

We know that the magnitudes of the negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are equal. Suppose, how

TEA [102]

Answer:3,45 x 10^9 N

Explanation: We have considered the total charge for each coin , this is the total atoms x 29 electrons for cooper and multiplier by electron charge, the total charge for each coin is 0,464 C

Finally we use the Coulomb law,

F=k Q/ (r)^2

What are used for manufacturing paper along with wood and chemicals

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Paper and pulp are made from cellulosic fibers and other plant materials. Some synthetic materials may be used to impart special qualities to the finished product. Paper is made from wood fibers, but rags, flax, cotton linters, and bagasse are also used in some papers.
