When you skid to a stop on your bike, you can significantly heat the small patch of tire that rubs against the road surface. Sup

pose a person skids to a stop by hitting the brake on his back tire, which supports half the 90 kg combined mass of the bike and rider, leaving a skid mark that is 42 cm long. Assume a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.80.
How much thermal energy is deposited in the tire and the road surface?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

W_f = 148.17J

Explanation:

During the exchange of applied force, thermal energy is generated by the friction that exists between the ground and the tire.

Said force according to the statement is the reaction of half the force on the rear tire. In this way the normal force acted is,

N=\frac{mg}{2} = \frac{90*9.8}{2} = 441N

The work done is given by the friction force and the distance traveled,

W_f = fd = \mu_k Nd

Where \mu_k [/ tex] is the coefficient of kinetic frictionN is the normal force previously found d is the distance traveled,Replacing,[tex]W_f = (0.80)(441)(0.42)

The thermal energy released through the work done is,

W_f = 148.17J

Which correctly identifies the parts of a transverse wave? A: crest B: amplitude C: wavelength D: trough A: trough B: amplitude
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation :

In transverse waves the particles are oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves.

The uppermost part of the wave is crests and the lowermost part is troughs.

Wavelength of a transverse wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Amplitude is the maximum distance or displacement covered by a wave.

So, crest, amplitude, trough and wavelength identifies the parts of a transverse wave.

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}

Now,

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}

\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

Identify the row that contains two scalars and one vector quantity: Distance Acceleration Velocity Speed Mass Acceleration Dista
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Speed, mass and acceleration

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.

According to the question, the row that has two scalars and one vector is speed, mass and acceleration.

The two scalars in this row are speed and mass while the vector quantity there is the acceleration.

Acceleration has direction since it possess direction. A body accelerating will do so in a particular direction. Speed and mass doesn't possess any direction. Mass only specify the magnitude of the body but no clue as to which direction is the body moving towards.

Speed also only specify the

total distance covered with respect to time but not the direction of the direction.

A car is moving on a straight road in a fixed direction at a constant speed of v = 62 km/h with respect to the road. You wish to
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) V=62 i + 0 j + 0 k

B) X=0.93 km

Explanation:

A) In this situation we are talking about a car moving only in the X- axis, hence the velocity of the car is:

V=62 i + 0 j + 0 k

Where the unit vectors i, j and k represent the components x, y and z in the cartesian plane.

In this sense, each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one (1).

B) Velocity is defined as the variation of position in time, if this car is moving only along the x direction we will have:

V=\frac{X}{t}

Clearing the position:

X=V.t

X=(62 km/h)(0.015 h)

X=0.93 km
