You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped a

t a red light along a road headed down a hill (Fig. 6-25). You find that the slope of the hill is u " 12.03, that the cars were separated by distance d " 24.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that the speed of car A at the onset of braking was v0 " 18.0 m/s.With what speed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was (a) 0.60 (dry road surface) and (b) 0.10 (road surface covered with wet leaves)

Answer:

A) 12.08 m/s

B) 19.39 m/s

Explanation:

A) Down the hill, we will apply Newton’s second law of motion in the downward direction to get:

mg(sinθ) – F_k = ma

Where; F_k is frictional force due to kinetic friction given by the formula;

F_k = (μ_k) × F_n

F_n is normal force given by mgcosθ

Thus;

F_k = μ_k(mg cosθ)

We now have;

mg(sinθ) – μ_k(mg cosθ) = ma

Dividing through by m to get;

g(sinθ) – μ_k(g cosθ) = a

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.6(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = -3.71 m/s²

We are told that distance d = 24.0 m and v_o = 18 m/s

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o² + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × -3.71 × 24))

v = 12.08 m/s

B) Now, μ_k = 0.10

Thus;

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.1(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = 1.08 m/s²

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × 1.08 × 24))

v = 19.39 m/s

As in the video, we apply a charge +Q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge –Q to t
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

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>

Cindy exerts a force of 40 newtons and moves a chair 6 meters. Her brother Andy pushes a different chair for 6 meters while exer
sesenic [268]
Work formula:
W = F * d
F 1 = 40 N, d 1 = 6 m;
F 2 = 30 N; d 2 = 6 m.
W ( Cindy ) = 40 * 6 = 240 Nm
W ( Andy ) = 30 * 6 = 180 Nm
The difference of their amounts if work:
240 Nm - 180  Nm = 60 nm

hope it helps!

A police siren of frequency fsiren is attached to a vibrating platform. The platform and siren oscillate up and down in simple h
babunello [35]

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

 f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

           f = fo \frac{v}{v-v)s}      when the source moves towards the observer

           f ’=f_o  \frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}  Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

          f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}
