In would say that you may have water in your brakes which may have gotten in the brake lines or in the brake discs so that could cause the brakes to malfunction due to driving through the pools of water so the brakes should be examined as soon as possible.

<u>You're driving on a road where rain has left large pools of water, and you have driven through water that was several inches deep. Now your brakes are not working</u>. You may have the brakes to be examined ASAP. If the brakes become very wet, they just won`t work as well as they would when they are dry (the brakes will lose effectiveness, increasing your stopping distance). To un-soak the brakes, drive/pump them intermittently while accelerating the heat/friction generated will remove the water. It is dangerous to drive with wet brakes.

A worker wants to turn over a uniform 1110-N rectangular crate by pulling at 53.0 ∘ on one of its vertical sides (the figure (Fi
tekilochka [14]
This problem has three questions I believe:

> How hard does the floor push on the crate?

<span>We have to find the net vertical (normal) Fn force which results from Fp and Fg. 
We know that the normal component of Fg is just Fg, which is equal to as 1110N. 
From the geometry, the normal component of Fp can be calculated: 
Fpn = Fp * cos(θp) 
= 1016.31 N * cos(53) 
= 611.63 N 

The total normal force Fn then is: 
Fn = Fg + Fpn 
= 1110 + 611.63
= 1721.63 N</span>

 

> Find the friction force on the crate

<span>We have to look for the net horizontal force Fh which results from Fp and Fg. Since Fg is a normal force entirely,  so we can say that the horizontal component is zero: 

Fh = Fph + Fgh 
= (Fp * sin(θp)) + 0 
= 1016.31 N * sin(53) 
= 811.66 N</span>

 

> What is the minimum coefficient of static friction needed to prevent the crate from slipping on the floor?

We just need to compute the ratio Fh to Fn to get the minimum μs.

 

μs = Fh / Fn

= 811.66 N / 1721.63 N

you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,
balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of  solid core wire=r=2.28 mm=2.28\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Radius of each strand  of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm=0.456\times 10^{-3} m

Current density of each wire=J=3750 A/m^2

a.Area =\pi r^2

Where \pi=3.14

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core =3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2

Current density =J=\frac{I}{A}

Using the formula

3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}

I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire=A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2

J'=\frac{I'}{A'}

3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}

I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2

I'=0.047 A

b.Resistivity of copper wire=\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire=R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of strand wire=R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega
