A car weighs 2,000 kg. It moves along a road by applying a force on the road with a parallel component of 560 N. There are two p

assengers in the car, each weighing 55 kg. If the magnitude of the force of friction experienced by the car is 45 N, what is the acceleration of the car?

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 0.244 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2,000 kg

applied parallel force on the car, F = 560 N

mass of the two passengers, m = 2 x 55 kg = 110 kg

frictional force on the car (reducing horizontal motion), Fk = 45 N

Weight of the car acting downward, W = 2,000 x 9.8 = 19,600 N

weight of the two passengers acting downward, w = 110 x 9.8 = 1078 N

The net horizontal force on the car is given by;

∑Fx = F - Fk

∑Fx = 560 - 45

∑Fx = 515 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

m is the total mass of the system = mass of car + mass of passengers

m = 2000 + 110 = 2,110 kg

a = ∑Fx / m

a = 515 / 2110

a = 0.244 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.244 m/s²

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini
arsen [322]
Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

   KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

  m₁:  KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

  m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

   m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

   (0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

   V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
   KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
   KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

Imagine that the above hoop is a tire. the coefficient of static friction between rubber and concrete is typically at least 0.9.
Stels [109]
The hoop is attached.

Consider that the friction force is given by:
F = μ·N
   = μ·m·g·cosθ

We also know, considering the forces of the whole system, that:
F = -m·a + m·g·sinθ
and
a = (1/2)·<span>g·sinθ

Therefore:
</span>-(1/2)·m·g·sinθ + m·g·sinθ = <span>μ·m·g·cosθ
</span>(1/2)·m·g·sinθ = <span>μ·m·g·cosθ
</span>μ = (1/2)·m·g·sinθ / <span>m·g·cosθ
   = </span>(1/2)·tanθ

Now, solve for θ:
θ = tan⁻¹(2·μ)
   = tan⁻¹(2·0.9)
   = 61°

Therefore, the maximum angle <span>you could ride down without worrying about skidding is 61°.</span>
