While traveling on a horizontal road at speed vi, a driver sees a large rabbit ahead and slams on the brakes. The wheels lock and the car begins to slide against the road. The car collides with the rabbit at a final speed of vf, after T seconds of braking. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the tires against the road?

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)

Explanation:

Given

Vi = initial velocity of the car

Vf = final velocity of the car

T = Time of application of brakes

g = acceleration due to gravity (known constant)

Let the mass of the car be Mc

Assuming only kinetic frictional force acts on the car as the driver applies the brakes,

The n from Newtown's second law of motion.

Fk = Mc×a

Fk = μk×Mc×g

a = (Vf - Vc)/T

Equating both preceding equation.

μk×Mc×g = Mc × (Vf - Vc)/T

Mc cancels out.

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
