To avoid an accident, a driver steps on the brakes to stop a 1000-kg car traveling at 65km/h. if the braking distance is 35 m, h
Maru [3345]
Initially, we need to calculate the acceleration required for the car to halt from its initial speed based on the distance traveled. This can be done using the formula,
                                             2ad = Vf² - Vi²
where a represents acceleration, d is distance, and Vf and Vi are the final and initial speeds respectively. Plugging in the known quantities,
           2(a)(35 m) = (0 m/s)² - ((65 km/h) x (1000 m/ 1 km) x (1 hr / 3600 s))²
The resulting acceleration is −4.66 m/s².
To calculate the force required to stop the car, we multiply the mass by the acceleration. This calculation yields -4,660 N, and we take the absolute value, which is 4,660 N.

"if a stream flow measures 12 meters in 60 seconds, what is the stream's average rate of flow?"
Yuliya22 [3333]
Discharge refers to the volume of water flowing down a river or stream within a specific timeframe, typically measured in cubic feet per second or gallons per day. Generally, the discharge of a river is calculated by taking the product of the cross-sectional area of water in the channel and the average velocity of water at that section: discharge = area * velocity. In this instance, the result is 0.2 m/s.

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T represent the tension in the swing.

At the peak mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v denotes the velocity needed to maintain the circular motion.

r equals the distance from the rotation point to the center of the ball, which is L+\frac{d}{2} (with d being the ball's diameter).

The threshold velocity can be expressed as mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

To determine the velocity at the bottom, we can use energy conservation principles at both the top and bottom positions.

At the top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at the bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

By comparing the two states using conservation of energy, we find v_0^2=4gr+gr

v_0^2=5gr

v_0=\sqrt{5gr}

v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he
serg [3582]
The answer is 9938.8 km. Explanation: 1 pound-force = 4.48 N. Hence, 30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N. The gravitational force between Earth and an object on its surface is defined by: Where M denotes Earth’s mass, m is the object's mass, and R represents the Earth's radius (6371 km). To determine height (h) above Earth's surface, we compare ratios. Ultimately, Pete's weight would be 30 pounds at a height of 9938.8 km from the Earth's surface.
