A 2,600 lb automobile comes to a complete stop from 65 mph. If 60% of the braking capacity is provided by the front disk brake rotors, determine their temperature rise. Each of the two cast-iron rotors weighs 15 lb and has a specific heat of 0.14 Btu/(lbm - °F). (Express your answer using three significant figures.) T- To = °F
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.
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…
