Answer:

Fish tailing

Explanation:

Fish tailing is the vehicle handling problem which occurs due to the decrease in friction between the the rear wheels and the surface. So we mostly observe that rear wheels slide out of control when there is rain or ice covered roads, sand etc. They reduce the friction of the surface resulting in over-steering. This problem is named as fish tailing.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.

Answer:

$F=mkv$

Explanation:

Given that

$v = v_i - kx$

We know that acceleration a given as

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$v = v_i - kx$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We know that

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$F=-mkv$

So the magnitude of force F

$F=mkv$

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is $14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}$ , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

W = $\int_{0}^{0.54} F dx$

= $\int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx$

= $[14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}$

= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

= 7653.31 J

or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc

Tasya [4]

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of dog = 10 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

$u_1$ = Velocity of dog = 1 m/s

$u_2$ = Velocity of skateboard

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

$(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s$

The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive
