A race car is one lap behind the lead race car when the lead car has 44 laps to go in a race. If the speed of the lead car is 55

.9 m/s, what must be the average speed of the second car to catch the lead car just before the end of the race (i.e., right at the finish line)? Assume 1 lap is 1.34 km. Answer in units of m/s

Answer:

Speed of second car will be 57.17 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given lead car travels = 44 laps

1 laps = 1.34 km = 1340 m

So total distance = 1340×44 = 58960 m

Speed of lead car = 55.9 m/sec

We know that time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{58960}{55.9}=1054.74sec

As the second car is 1 lap behind so distance traveled by second car = 45×1340 = 60300 m

So speed of second car will be speed=\frac{distance}{time }=\frac{60300}{1054.74}=57.17m/sec

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?
NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%

Sometimes you can see a faint reflection in the surface of a shiny plate or cup.Why ?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The degree of reflection whether faint or bright you see on the surface of an object is an indication that light particles had hit the surface. Since light is a wave and as part of its characteristics can get reflected. However, the amount of light reflected by a surface is dependent on the smoothness of the surface which can be shiny or dull, it can also be dependent on the nature of the surface which can be glass, water, and so on. So, from the question, you can see a faint reflection on the surface of a shiny plate or cup because of the smoothness of the surface which reflects the lights that hit it from a particular direction at the same angle.

Assume that in 2010 the United States will need 2.0×1012 watts of electric power produced by thousands of 1000 MW power plants.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1752.14 tonnes per year.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to power consumption and power production.

By conservation of energy we know that:

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

Where,

\dot{P} = Production of Power

\bar{P} = Consumption of power

Where the production of power would be,

\dot{P} = m \dot{E}\eta

Where,

m = Total mass required

\dot{E} = Energy per Kilogram

\eta =Efficiency

The problem gives us the aforementioned values under a production efficiency of 45%, that is,

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

m \dot{E}\eta = \bar{P}

Replacing the values we have,

m(8*10^13)(0.45) = 2*10^{12}

Solving for m,

m = \frac{ 2*10^{12}}{(8*10^13)(0.45)}

m = 0.0556 \frac{kg}{s}

We have the mass in kilograms and the time in seconds, we need to transform this to tons per year, then,

m = 0.556\frac{kg}{s}*(\frac{3.1536*10^7s}{1year})(\frac{1ton}{1000kg})

m = 1752.14tonnes per year.
