Question

Please Help!!! 3) An object with cross section A is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is vox at t0 = 0s. Air resistance is not negligible. a) Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression b) A 16 m wide,1.4m high,1500 kg car hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20 m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will It take until the cars speed drops to 10m/s? To 5m/s? c) Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction-in other words, how would the force of kinetic friction between the tires and ice compare to the drag force?

Explanation / Answer

a) in this problem law conservation of momuntum holds good

drg force=momentum of object

Fd=axvsxv0t

force on object Fa=mx(vf-vi)/t

vf=vs,vi=v0t

solve the equations get the answer

b) in this question treat car as particle use model for rolling friction

car experience rolling and drag force

actually drag is less than friction at low speeds

drag increases with speed

there is no motion and accelration in verticle direction

we need to resolve components in horizontal manner

so Fd=0.25xAxV2

frictional force is f=un

=umg

these two equations are in equillibrium

Fd=f

area of car=1.6x1.4

=2.24

take u=1 frictionless

substitute in equation

velocity is very high

vi=162m/s final velocity is given in part a question solve t by using these values in equation

c) in this question friction is neglected such that

sliding is very high

there is no opposing force to control the speed

drag force varies with respect to speed

kinetic friction must be greater
