A 2120 kg car traveling at 13.4 m/s collides with a 2810 kg car that is initally at rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together and move 1.97 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficient of friction between the cars and the road is 0.859.

Explanation:

The two cars collide each other inelastically, then we can determine the resulting velocity by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

[tex]m_{A}\cdot v_{A} + m_{B}\cdot v_{B} = (m_{A} + m_{B})\cdot v[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{A}[/tex], [tex]m_{B}[/tex] - Masses of the cars, in kilograms.

[tex]v_{A}[/tex], [tex]v_{B}[/tex] - Initial velocities of the cars, in meters per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Velocity of the resulting system, in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]m_{A} = 2120\,kg[/tex], [tex]v_{A} = 13.4\,\frac{m}{s }[/tex], [tex]m_{B} = 2810\,kg[/tex] and [tex]v_{B} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the  velocity of the resulting system:

[tex]v = \frac{m_{A}\cdot v_{A}+m_{B}\cdot v_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{(2120\,kg)\cdot \left(13.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(2810\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{2120\,kg + 2810\,kg}[/tex]

[tex]v = 5.762\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we understand that the initial translational kinetic energy ([tex]K[/tex]), in joules, is dissipated due to work done by friction ([tex]W_{f}[/tex]), in joules, that is to say:

[tex]K = W_{f}[/tex] (2)

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot v^{2} = \mu\cdot (m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g \cdot s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = \mu \cdot g\cdot s[/tex] (2b)

Where:

[tex]\mu[/tex] - Coefficient of friction, no unit.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

[tex]s[/tex]- Travelled distance, in meters.

If we know that [tex]v = 5.762\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]s = 1.97\,m[/tex], then the coefficient of friction is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g\cdot s}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = \frac{\left(5.762\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (1.97\,m)}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 0.859[/tex]

The coefficient of friction between the cars and the road is 0.859.

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a constant force of 2850 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the log is 0.45, determine the time for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s

Answers

Answer:

0.1 s

Explanation:

The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log

So F - f = ma

F - μmg = ma

F/m - μg = a

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = F/m - μg

a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²

a = 5.09 m/s²

Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.

So, making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (v - u)/a

t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²

t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²

t = 0.098 s

t ≅ 0.1 s

If the loading is 0.4, the coinsurance rate is 0.2, the number of units of medical care is 100, and the number of units of medical care is 1. What is the premium of this insurance?

Answers

Answer:

72  is the premimum of the insurance.

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

The loading = 0.4

Coinsurance rate = 0.2

Number of units = 100

Total number of units = 100 * 0.4 = 40

Remaining units = 60 * 0.2 = 12

Add the 60 and 12 values = 60 + 12 = 72

Thus, 72  is the premimum of the insurance.

Answers

Answer:

Points away from the disk along the z-axis.

Explanation:

Along the axis of the disk, which is the z - axis, the total vertical electric field components of the charged disk sum up while the horizontal components cancel out. Thus, leaving only vertical components of electric field along the axis of the disk.

Since the disk is positively charged and electric field lines point away from a positive charge, the electric field along the axis of a positive disk of charge points away from the disk along the z-axis.

A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from zero to 9.41 m/s in 4.24 s. What is the magnitude of the linear impulse experienced by a 67.0 kg passenger in the car during this time

Answers

Answer:

the impulse experienced by the passenger is 630.47 kg

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

final velocity of the car, v = 9.41 m/s

time of motion of the car, t = 4.24 s

mass of the passenger in the car, m = 67 kg

The impulse experienced by the passenger is calculated as;

J = ΔP = mv - mu = m(v - u)

           = 67(9.41 - 0)

           = 67 x 9.41

           = 630.47 kg

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the passenger is 630.47 kg

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so they typically have a speed of 1.8 m/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more than 28.0 m/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 75kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 3500 J on him during his run down the slope. What is the maximum height (h) for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded?

Answers

Answer:

44.6 m

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the total energy at the top of the ramp, E equals the total energy at the bottom of the ramp.

E = E'

U₁ + K₁ + W₁ = U₂ + K₂ + W₂ where U₁ = potential energy at top of ramp = mgh where = height of ramp, K₁ = kinetic energy at top of ramp = 1/2mv₁² where v₁ = speed at top of ramp = 1.8 m/s, W₁ = work done by friction and air resistance at top of ramp = 0 J, U₂ = potential energy at bottom of ramp = 0 J(since the skier is at ground level h = 0), K₂ = kinetic energy at bottom of ramp = 1/2mv₂² where v₂ = speed at bottom of ramp = 28.0 m/s, W₁ = work done by friction and air resistance at bottom of ramp = 3500 J

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

U₁ + K₁ + W₁ = U₂ + K₂ + W₂

mgh + 1/2mv₁² + W₁ = U₂ + 1/2mv₂² + W₂

mgh + 1/2m(1.8 m/s)² + 0 J = 0 J + 1/2m(28 m/s)² + 3500 J

9.8 m/s² × 75 kg h + 1/2 × 75 kg (3.24 m²/s²) + 0 J = 0 J + 1/2 × 75 kg (784 m²/s²) + 3500 J

(735 kgm/s²)h + 75  kg(1.62 m²/s²) = 75 kg(392m²/s²) + 3500 J

(735 kgm/s²)h + 121.5  kgm²/s² = 29400 kgm²/s² + 3500 J

(735 kgm/s²)h + 121.5 J = 29400 J + 3500 J

(735 kgm/s²)h + 121.5 J = 32900 J

(735 kgm/s²)h = 32900 J - 121.5 J

(735 kgm/s²)h = 32778.5 J

h = 32778.5 J/735 kgm/s²

h = 44.6 m

So, the maximum height of the ramp for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded is 44.6 m.

A hoop rolls with constant velocity and without sliding along level ground. Its rotational kinetic energy is:______a- half its translational kinetic energyb- the same as its translational kinetic energyc- twice its translational kinetic energyd- four times its translational kinetic energy

The same as its translational KE.

The easy way to do this is to make up numbers and use them.

So, I'll say m=2 and r=3. I will also say v=3 .

Rot. Inertia of a hoop is mr^2. So the rot KE is: 1/2 (mr^2)(w^2)

note: (1/2*I*w^2)

Translational kinetic energy is basically normal KE, so 1/2(m)(v^2)

Now, lets plug our made up values in:

Rot Ke : 1/2 (9*2)(3/3) *note w = v/r

Tran Ke: 1/2(2)(9)

Rot Ke: 9

Tran Ke: 9

A constant force F = 6i+8j-6k moves an object along a straight line from point (6, 0, -10) to point (-6, 7, 2).

Find the work done if the distance is measured in meters and the magnitude of the force is measured in newtons.

Answer:

the work done is -88 J

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

Work done = F × S

where constant force F = ( 6i + 8j - 6k )

S = ( -6i + 7j + 2k ) - ( 6i + 0j - 10k )

S = ( (-6i - 6i) + (7j - 0j) + ( 2k - ( -10k) ) )

S = ( -12I + 7j + 12k )

so

Work force = ( 6i + 8j - 6k ) × ( -12I + 7j + 12k )

Work force = ( 6 × -12 ) + ( 8 × 7 ) + ( -6 × 12 )

Work force = -72 + 56 - 72

Work force = -88 J

Therefore, the work done is -88 J
