An automobile approaches a barrier at a speed of 20 m/s along a level road. the driver locks the brakes at a distance of 50 m from the barrier. what minimum coefficient of kinetic friction is required to stop the automobile before it hits the barrier?

Acylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 gpa (30 × 106psi) and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) experiences only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 n (2000 lbf) is applied. compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

When conducting an investigation to determine which type of fertilizer produces the most flowers on a plant, which variable would be graphed on the x-axis once you collected the data? a. type of fertilizer b. amount of flowers c. amount of water d. number of days that the plants grew

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
