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 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a person has a small intestine that has fewer villi than normal. Would the person most likely be overweight or underweig
Mekhanik [1.2K]
They would be likely to be underweight. This is because the role of villi is to increase absorption of soluble molecules, they do this by increasing surface area for absorption to occur across.
If the person has less villi than normal in their small intestine, then the surface area will not be as large meaning there is less area for absorption to occur across so less soluble molecules will be absorbed.

Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a
Naily [24]

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0

v = -4.76 m/s

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

v = 69.82 ms^-1

Explanation:

As we know,

R = vi2 sin2Ꝋ / g  

vi2 =R g / sin2 Ꝋ where R is range R = 52m, Ꝋ = 3 Degrees

vi2 = 52 x 9.8 / sin 2(3) = 4875.227

v = 69.82 ms^-1
