Q.30 A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on... [FREE SOLUTION]

Chapter 6: Q.30 (page 155)

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where $渭_{k}$ $= 0.50$ . How fast was the car traveling if it leaves role="math" localid="1648126746388" $65 m$ -long skid marks?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the car at the moment it skidded is $25.69 m / s$

Step by step solution

Content Introduction

Velocity is a mechanical number that indicates the change in distance of an object in unit time in a specified direction. The metric unit is the meter per second. It explains how the thing moves.

Content Explanation

Using Newton's second law

Here, $F_{g}$ is the gravitational force, $m$ is the mass, $a$ is the acceleration.

Substitute the values, where

$m = 1500 k g a = 10 m / s$

$F_{g} = m a F_{g} = (1500) (10) F_{g} = 15000 N$

Now $F_{f} = 渭 F_{n} F_{f} = (0.5) (1500) F_{f} = 7500 N$

To find acceleration we use

$A = 5 m / s^{2}$

The initial velocity , here $V_{f} = 0, d = 65 m, a = 10$

$V_{f} = V_{i} + 2 a d 2 a d = V_{i} = 25.69 m / s$
