An automobile approaches a barrier at a speed of 20 m/s along a level road. The driver locks the brakes at a distance of 50 m fr

om the barrier. What minimum coefficient of kinetic friction is required to stop the automobile before it hits the barrier?

Answer:

μ = 0.408

Explanation:

given,

speed of the automobile (u)= 20 m/s

distance = 50 m

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

kinetic friction = ?

we know that,

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = 20² + 2 × a × 50

$a = \dfrac{400}{2\times 50}$

a = 4 m/s²

We know

F = ma = μN

ma = μ mg

a = μ g

$\mu = \dfrac{a}{g}$

$\mu = \dfrac{4}{9.81}$

μ = 0.408

hence, Kinetic friction require to stop the automobile before it hit barrier is 0.408

A stationary particle of charge q = 2.1 × 10-8 c is placed in a laser beam (an electromagnetic wave) whose intensity is 2.9 × 10

alisha [4.7K]

(a) The intensity of the electromagnetic wave is related to the amplitude of the electric field by
$I= \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_0 E^2$
where
I is the intensity
c is the speed of light
$\epsilon_0$ is the electric permittivity
E is the amplitude of the electric field

By substituting the numbers of the problem and re-arranging the equation, we can find E:
$E= \frac{2 I}{c \epsilon_0} = \frac{2 ( 2.9 \cdot 10^3 Wm^{-2})}{(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} Fm^{-1})} =2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C$

Now that we have the intensity of the electric field, we can calculate the electric force on the charge:
$F=qE=(2.1 \cdot 10^{-8} C)(2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C)=0.046 N$

(b) We can calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field starting from the amplitude of the electric field:
$B= \frac{E}{c}= \frac{2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T$

The magnetic force is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where v is the particle's speed, B the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ the angle between B and v.
In this case the charge is stationary, so v=0, and so the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

(c) The electric force has not changed compared to point (a), because it does not depend on the speed of the particle, so we have again F=0.046 N.

(d) This time, the particle is moving with speed $v=3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s$ , in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field (so, the angle $\theta$ is $90^{\circ}$ ), and so by using the intensity of the magnetic field we found in point (b), we can calculate the magnetic force on the particle:
$F=qvB \sin \theta = (2.1 \cdot 10^{-8}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s)(7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 90^{\circ} )=$
$=5.7 \cdot 10^{-6} N$

In a series circuit . . .

-- The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

-- The current is the same at every point in the circuit.

The total resistance in this circuit is (3Ω + 6Ω ) = 9Ω

The current at every point is (V/R) = (12v / 9Ω ) = <em>1.33 A</em> .

A particle of mass m= 2.5 kg has velocity of v = 2 i m/s, when it is at the origin (0,0). Determine the z- component of the angu

melomori [17]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by

$|\vec{L}|=|\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}|=m(rvsin\theta)$

By taking into account the angles between the vectors r and v in each case we obtain:

a)

v=(2,0)

r=(0,1)

angle = 90°

$L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}$

b)

r=(0,-1)

angle = 90°

$L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}$

c)

r=(1,0)

angle = 0°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

d)

r=(-1,0)

angle = 180°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

e)

r=(1,1)

angle = 45°

$L = (2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin45\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}$

f)

r=(-1,1)

angle = 45°

the same as e):

L = 5kgm/s

g)

r=(-1,-1)

angle = 135°

$L=(2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin135\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}$

h)

r=(1,-1)

angle = 135°

the same as g):

L = 5kgm/s

hope this helps!!

At the normal boiling temperature of iron, TB = 3330 K, the rate of change of the vapor pressure of liquid iron with temperature

Margaret [11]

The molar latent enthalpy of boiling of iron at 3330 K is ΔH = 342 $\times$ 10^3 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molar enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change one mole of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at constant temperature and pressure.

d ln p = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

(1/p) dp = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

dp / dt = p (ΔH / RT^2) = 3.72 $\times$ 10^-3

(p) (ΔH) / (8.31) (3330)^2 = 3.72 $\times$ 10^-3

ΔH = 342 $\times$ 10^3 J.
