A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.

5 mi/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.60, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

$F_f = \mu N = \mu mg$

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

$a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2$

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

$t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s$

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n

sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

$(1).\: x =v_0t$

$(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, $y=0$ ; therefore,

$0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

solving for $t$ we get:

$t= 1.75s.$

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

$50m = v_0(1.75s)$

which gives

$\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}$

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

$v_x = 28.58m/s.$

the vertical component of the velocity is

$v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.$

which gives a speed $v$ of

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}$

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

So

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

tatiyna

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$B_z=(2.4\mu T)\sin (1.05\times 10^7x-\omega t)$

Em wave is in the form of

$B=B_0\sin (kx-\omega t)$

where $\omega =frequency\ of\ oscillation$

$k=wave\ constant$

$B_0=Maximum\ value\ of\ Magnetic\ Field$

Wave constant for EM wave k is

$k=1.05\times 10^7 m^{-1}$

Wavelength of wave $\lambda =\frac{2\pi }{k}$

$\lambda =\frac{2\pi }{1.05\times 10^7}$

$\lambda =5.98\times 10^{-7} m$

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis

Vanyuwa [196]

When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k.

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

999999 km /<span>999 liters = x km /</span><span>121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers</span>
