9. you and your devious friends push a 1200 kg car along a level road, accelerating it from rest. the pushers transfer 6500 j of

energy into the system and loses -2000. j in the
eth account due to friction.
how fast will the vehicle be traveling after the push?

The speed of the vehicle after the push is 2.7 m/s.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

velocity is the rate of change of displacement.

To calculate the velocity of the vehicle, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = √[2(W-W')/m]............... Equation 1

Where:

  • v = velocity of the car
  • W = work done by the pusher
  • W' = Work done by friction
  • m = mass of the car

From the question,

Given:

  • W = 6500 J
  • W' = 2000 J
  • m = 1200 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • v = √[2(6500-2000)/1200]
  • v = √(7.5)
  • v = 2.7 m/s

Hence, the speed of the vehicle after the push is 2.7 m/s.

Can anyone define thermostat and list electrical appliances that have a thermostat?
Tresset [83]
A thermostat is a switch that operates itself when the temperature
goes above or below a temperature that the user can set.

-- Before you go to bed, you set the thermostat for 65° .
If the temperature in the house goes below 65° during the night,
the thermostat turns on the furnace, and keeps it running until
the house warms up to 65°.  Then it shuts the furnace off.

-- After breakfast, you set the thermostat for 75°.
If the temperature in the house goes above 75°, during the day, 
the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and keeps it running until
the house cools down to 75°.  Then it shuts the air conditioner off.  

-- On Sunday morning, you put the slow cooker on the kitchen counter,
and you throw in a big roast, a sliced onion, some baby carrots, some
sliced potatoes, some vegetable stock, salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder,
and tomato paste.  Then you put the cover on, turn the power on, and
set the slow cooker to "LOW".  The heater in the slow cooker turns on.
  Whenever the temperature in the crock gets higher than 160°, the
thermostat in the slow cooker turns off the heater, and keeps it off
until the crock cools down to 160°.  Then the thermostat turns the
heater on again.
  By dinner time, you have a hot, juicy, scrumptious pot roast, ready
to eat.  It's not too hot, not too cold, not too tough, not dried out, and
it melts in your mouth.
You're still thinking about it when you go to bed, and your mom gives you
a slice to take to school for your lunch on Monday.

What is the difference between a steep and shallow slope
Airida [17]
Whether a line is "steep" or "shallow" depends on the slope of the line. In the equation y=mx+b, m is the slope. In your first equation, 1/2x+4, the slope would be 1/2 which means there is 1 increase in the vertical, or y, value for each 2 increases in the horizontal, or x value. This line would be shallow.

An nfl linebacker can go from 0 m/s to 2.5 m/s in 2.5s. What is his acceleration?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

a= 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

a= (Vf-Vi)/t

a=(2.5m/s - 0m/s)/2.5 s

a=2.5 m/s / 2.5 s

a= 1 m/s^2

jeremie ran around the track at the ymca for 2 hours. when he was done he figured that he had traveled 20 kilometers. what was h
laila [671]
(1) Speed is the ratio of the total distance covered by the object and the total time it takes for him to finish it. 

    Speed = distance / time 

In this item, we are given that the distance is 20 kilometers and that the time it takes for the trip is 2 hours. Substituting the known values,
   Speed = 20 kilometers / 2 hours 
    speed = 20 km/h

(2) Velocity on the other hand takes into account the displacement of the object from his original position. It is assumed that Jeremie was basically back to his original position after two hours. Hence, the velocity is equal to zero.
