NEED WITHIN 1HR PLEASE, THANKS 1. A 1200-kg automobile is moving at a speed of 90 km/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid. Determine the time required to stop the automobile on dry pavement (μk = 0.75), and on an icy road (μk = 0.10).
A heavy goods vehicle of total mass 4.8 tonnes descends a hill with a gradient of 8 degrees from the horizontal. During this motion, the vehicle experiences a rolling resistance to its motion of 880 N. Whilst travelling at a velocity of 72 km/h, its brakes are applied, and the truck is brought uniformly to rest in a distance of 140 m. During this period of constant deceleration, it may be assumed that the rolling resistance remains constant at 880N, this being in addition to the retarding force applied by the brakes. Calculate for the vehicle whilst it is slowing down: a) The vertical height through which it descends. b) Its decrease in potential energy. c) Its initial velocity in m/s. Its decrease in kinetic energy.
A block of weight 800N rests on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction 0.2. It is pulled by a force of 1000N applied at an angle of 300 to the horizontal. Determine the velocity attained by the block after it has moved 30 m starting from rest. Proceed to calculate the further distance moved by the body if the pull is removed.
During an Olympic 100-m sprint race, Usain Bolt, the world record holder in that race, quickly accelerates to his top speed of 12.4 m/s. Analysis of his technique has shown that each of his feet make contact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 x 10° N during this contact. This allows the 94.0 kg Bolt to leap forward and remain airborne for 0.120 s until the next foot touches the ground. (Ignore air resistance.) (a) What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force (in N) Bolt's feet exert on the ground? (Round your answers to at least three significant figures.) horizontal N vertical (b) Assuming that the sprinter accelerates at a constant rate while his feet are in contact with the ground and does not slow down when he is airborne, by what amount does Bolt's horizontal speed (in m/s) increase with each step? (Round your answer to at least three significant figures.) m/s (c) Assuming that the sprinter's speed increases at a…

A massless spring (with force constant k=300 N/m) connects a wall and a block. The system is initially at rest, with the spring unstretched. Mass of the bullet is 0.04 kg and its velocity is v0=110 m/s before it enters the block. Friction between block and surface is μ=0.4. What are the speed of the block and bullet after it enters the block mass of the block if the maximum force of the spring to the wall is Fj=60 N?
