The car's velocity at time <em>t</em> is given by
It comes to a stop when <em>v</em> = 0, which happens when
or after about 13.9 s.
In this time, the car travels a distance <em>x</em> given by
or about 192 m.
In one complete revolution, each tire covers a distance equal to its circumference,
or about 2.14 m.
This means each tire will complete approximately 192/2.14 ≈ 90 revolutions.
Hi there!
To find the appropriate force needed to keep the block moving at a constant speed, we must use the dynamic friction force since the block would be in motion.
Recall:
The normal force of an object on an inclined plane is equivalent to the vertical component of its weight vector. However, the horizontal force applied contains a vertical component that contributes to this normal force.
We can plug in the known values to solve for one part of the normal force:
N = (1)(9.8)(cos30) + F(.5) = 8.49 + .5F
Now, we can plug this into the equation for the dynamic friction force:
Fd= (0.2)(8.49 + .5F) = 1.697 N + .1F
For a block to move with constant speed, the summation of forces must be equivalent to 0 N.
If a HORIZONTAL force is applied to the block, its horizontal component must be EQUIVALENT to the friction force. (∑F = 0 N). Thus:
Fcosθ = 1.697 + .1F
Solve for F:
Fcos(30) - .1F = 1.697
F(cos(30) - .1) = 1.697
F = 2.216 N
