Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.

How does amplitude determine loudness?

sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder.

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c

grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Force applied by the motor, $F_A=1000\ N$

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, $\mu=0.5$

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

$F_A-\mu mg=ma$

$\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a$

$a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}$

$a=-3.905\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-3.905\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What, it isn’t?!

Sorry, I had to.

As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.

After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.

Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

A tangent line drawn on a velocity-time graph has a rise of 19 m/s and a run of 4.0 m/s. How large is the acceleration? What typ

klemol [59]

Answer:

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Change in velocity = 19 m/s

Change in time = 4 s

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time

Acceleration = 19/4

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Positive acceleration
