for typical rubber-on-concrete friction, what is the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 80 mph? Suppose that μs=1.00 and μk=0.80.

Respuesta :

Answer: 3.63 s

The car would accelerate due to force of friction. Initially the car would have to overcome static force of friction.

Static force of friction:

[tex]F_s=\mu_smg[/tex]

Where[tex]\mu_s[/tex] is the coefficient of static friction, mg is the weight.

Let m be the mass of the car and a be the acceleration, then

[tex]ma=\mu_smg \Rightarrow a=\mu_sg[/tex]

It is given that, [tex]\mu_s=1.00[/tex]

[tex]a=1.00\times 9.8 m/s^2= 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

Now, using the equation of motion:

[tex] v-u=at[/tex] we can find the shortest time in which the car would accelerate from[tex]u= 0 \hspace{1mm} to \hspace{1mm}  v=80 mph=80\frac{miles}{h} \times 1.6 \frac{km}{mile} \times \frac{5 m/s}{18km/h}=35.56 m/s[/tex]

[tex] \Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{35.56 m/s-0}{9.8m/s^2}=3.63 s[/tex]

For a typical rubber-on-concrete friction, the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 80 mph is 3.65 seconds.

Given the data in the question;

Since the car accelerated from 0 to 80.

Initial velocity; [tex]u = 0m/s[/tex]

Final velocity; [tex]v = 80mph = 35.7632 m/s[/tex]

To determine the shortest time

We use the expression from the Force of Static Friction:

[tex]f_s = u_sN[/tex]

[tex]f_s = u_smg[/tex]

Also, From Newton's Second Law of Motion:

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

Now, from the diagram ( free body )

[tex]F = f_s[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]ma = u_smg\\a = u_sg[/tex]

We know that acceleration due to gravity;[tex]g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex] and in the question, [tex]u_s = 1.00[/tex]

So we substitute into the equation

[tex]a = 1.00 \ *\ 9.8m/s^2\\a = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Next, from the First Equation of Motion;

[tex]v = u + at[/tex]

Where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration.

We make time "t", the subject of the formula

[tex]t = \frac{v-u}{a}[/tex]

We substitute in our value

[tex]t = \frac{35.7632m/s- 0m/s}{9.8m/s^2} \\\\t = \frac{35.7632m/s}{9.8m/s^2} \\\\t = 3.649s\\\\t = 3.65s[/tex]

Therefore, for a typical rubber-on-concrete friction, the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 80 mph is 3.65 seconds.
