Answer:

W = m g h work that must be done on car

P = W / t power that must be input (in Watts)

P = m g h / t = 1500 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 360 m / 60 sec

P = 88,200 watts

P = 88,200 watts / 746 watts / hp = 118 hp

A car travels 40 miles in 30 minutes.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles = 40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles = 64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = $\frac{1}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{30}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}hours$

Now

Average velocity = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = $\frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}$

Average velocity = $64.3738 \times 2$

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting velocity to m/s

$128.74 \times \frac{5}{18}$

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting the values,

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2$

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)$

K= $\frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}$

K= $\frac{1917093.75}{2}$

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substituting the known values,

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2$

$s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)$

$s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}$ -------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Substituting the values

$a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}$

$a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}$

a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$ ----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

$s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}$

$s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}$

$s=536.25-267.75$

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)

Hello guys! Can u please help me with physics. I translated it in English. Can yall help me please how much u can!!

DedPeter [7]

1. Since the body is thrown vertically upward, the only force acting on it as it rises and falls is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration with magnitude g = 9.8 m/s². Because this acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where

u = initial speed

v = final speed

a = acceleration

∆x = displacement

At its maximum height, some distance y above the point where the body is launched, the body has zero velocity, so

0² - (20 m/s)² = 2 (-9.8 m/s²) y

Solve for y :

y = (20 m/s)² / (2 (9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 20.4 m

2. Relative to the ground, the body's maximum height is 60 m + 20.4 m ≈ 80.4 m.

3. At any time t ≥ 0, the body's vertical velocity is given by

v = 20 m/s - gt

At the highest point, we have

0 = 20 m/s - (9.8 m/s²) t

and solving for t gives

t = (20 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.04 s

4. The body's height y above the ground at any time t ≥ 0 is given by

y = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 gt²

Solve for t when y = 0 :

0 = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) t²

Using the quadratic formula,

t = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

(and omitting the negative root, which gives a negative solution) where a = -1/2 (9.8 m/s²), b = 20 m/s, and c = 60 m. You should end up with

t ≈ 6.09 s

5. At the time found in (4), the body's velocity is

v = 20 m/s - g (6.09 s) ≈ -39.7 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, so the speed in question is 39.7 m/s.

A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 6.00 m high. If he lands 2.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initia

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position vector of the tiger is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at a time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position,

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground at the point where the tree is located so that the initial position vector will be:

r0 = (0.00, 6.00) m

We can use the equation of the vertical component of the position vector to obtain the time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

When the tiger reaches the ground, y = 0:

0 = 6.00 m - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

2 · (-6.00 m) / -9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 1.11 s

We know that in 1.11 s the tiger travels 2.00 m in the horizontal direction. Then, using the equation of the horizontal component of the position vector we can find the initial speed:

x = x0 + v0 · t

At t = 1.11 s, x = 2.00 m

x0 = 0

2.00 m = v0 · 1.11 s

2.00 m / 1.11 s = v0

v0 = 1.80 m/s

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s
