The net force on the car for either case will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>Net force on the car</h3>

The net force on the car is the sum of all the forces acting on the car.

∑F = ma

<h3>When the car is on a level road</h3>

When the car is on a level road, the only two forces acting on the car is the applied force and frictional force of the road.

F - Ff = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>When the car is on uphill</h3>

The forces acting on the car at the uphill is the applied force, weight of the car acting downwards and the frictional force acting opposite direction.

F - Wsinθ - μFₙcosθ = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

$x=x_0+v_0t+at^2$

Where

$x_0 =$ Initial position

$v_0 =$ Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where,

$v_f = Final velocity$

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

$x= at^2$

With our values we have $x = 401.4m, t=4.945s$ , rearranging to find a,

$a=\frac{x}{t^2}$

$a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}$

$a = 16.41m/s^2$

Therefore the final velocity would be

$v_f = v_0 + at$

$v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)$

$v_f = 81.14m/s$

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

Problem:

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

Pepsi [2]

The total displacement of the person walking from point A to point B is 300 yards.

As shown in the figure we can conclude that the required method to calculate the total displacement is the Pythagoras theorem.

<h3>Pythagoras theorem in brief :</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square that represents the hypotenuse, or side of a right triangle that faces the right angle, is equal to the total of the squares on the triangle's legs.(or, in popular algebraic notation, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ ).
