The brake shoes of your car are made of a material that can tolerate very high temperatures without being damaged. Why is this so?
To explain: The reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The material used to make the brake shoes of the car is the material that tolerates very high temperatures without any damage.
Explanation:
The brakes of the car slowdown the car by converting the kinetic energy of the car to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
The cars have large amount of kinetic energy. When the brakes are applied, the large amount of kinetic energy is converted in to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
As the huge amount of thermal energy is formed at the brake shoes, the temperature on the brake shoes increases to a very large value. Therefore, in order to prevent the damage due to very high temperatures, the brake shoes are made with the materials that are able to tolerate very high temperatures.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car is explained.

- Part C Find the height yi from which the rock was launched. Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 4.1 for projectile motion problems. A rock thrown with speed 12.0 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m before hitting the ground. From what height was the rock thrown? Use the value g = 9.800 m/s2 for the free-fall acceleration. PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY 4.1 Projectile motion problems MODEL: Is it reasonable to ignore air resistance? If so, use the projectile motion model. VISUALIZE: Establish a coordinate system with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical. Define symbols and identify what the problem is trying to find. For a launch at angle θ, the initial velocity components are vix=v0cosθ and viy=v0sinθ. SOLVE: The acceleration is known: ax=0 and ay=−g. Thus, the problem becomes one of…arrow_forwardPhys 25arrow_forwardPhys 22arrow_forward
