Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. A police investigator measures straight skid marks 20.0 m long in an accident investigation. Assuming a friction force and car mass the same as in the problem above, what was the minimum speed of the car when the brakes locked

Respuesta :

Answer:

minimum speed of the car when the brakes locked is 16.15 m/s

Explanation:

given data

straight skid marks = 20.0 m

solution

we consider here mass of car is 1.20 ×  10³ kg  

and friction force is 7.83× 10³ N

so here acceleration will be

acceleration = force ÷ mass   ................1

acceleration = [tex]\frac{7.83\times 10^3}{1.20\times 10^3}[/tex]  

acceleration = 6.525 m/s²  

and

speed after 20  m final speed v is 0 m/s

and here minimum speed of the car when brakes was locked  is u m/s

so we apply equation of motion

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    ............2

0 - u² = 2 × 6.525  × 20    

solve it we get

u = 16.15 m/s

so minimum speed of the car when the brakes locked is 16.15 m/s

The minimum speed of the car when the brakes are locked is 16.15 m/s

Equation of motion:

Since the mass of the car is 1.20 ×  10³ kg  and friction force is 7.83× 10³ N

So, the acceleration should be

= force ÷ mass

[tex]= 7.83 \times 10^{3} \div 1.20 \times 10^{3}[/tex]

= 6.525 m/s²  

Now the minimum speed should be

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    

0 - u² = 2 × 6.525  × 20    

u = 16.15 m/s
