Atruck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. how strong must the rope be? μk = 0.373

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation:

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

Known information:

at: truck acceleration(m/s2)

ac: car acceleration

Kinematic analysis  

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck because the truck and the car are connected by the rope.  

We apply Newton's first law to calculate the Normal force because there is no movement in the vertical direction:  

We replace the values of the mc and g in the equation(2):  

Normal force calculation:  

Car weight calculation:  

mc = Car mass = 2230kg  

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8  

Friction force calculation (Ff):  

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:  

Ff = μk * N Equation (3)  

μk: kinetic coefficient of friction  

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N , then we replaced this data in(3):  

Calculation of the tension force in the ro pe (T):  

We apply Newton's Second law to calculate the Normal force because there is no movement in the horizontal direction:  

We take the sense of the forces like this:  

positive to the right and negative to the left  

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N  

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
