The weight of the automobile is 17,533.6 N.

<h3>Weight of the automobile</h3>

The weight of the automobile is calculated as follows;

P = F / A

F = (W/4)

P = (W/4) / A

P = W/4A

W = 4AP

where;

P is pressure
A is area

W = (4)(217 x 10⁻⁴ m²)(2.02 x 10⁵ Pa)

W = 17,533.6 N

Thus, the weight of the automobile is 17,533.6 N.

The direction that an induced current flows in a circuit is given by

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Lenz's law

Explanation:

it states that induced emf of different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the coil in order to ensure that original flux is maintained through the coil when current flows in it.

according to Faraday' s law of electromagnetic induction

Where -ve sign due to lenz's law

Emf is the induced voltage also known as electromotive force

N is the number of loops.

dϕ Change in magnetic flux.

dt Change in time.

Which two options are forms of potential energy

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are two kinds of energy – kinetic energy when something is moving, and potential energy, which is energy that is stored and ready to be used. All objects have potential energy or stored energy if they are placed in a certain position.

A cannon fires a cannonball forward at a velocity of 48.1 m/s horizontally. If the cannon is on a mounted wagon 1.5 m tall, how

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 473.640 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the cannonball has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=48.1 m/s$ is the cannonball's initial velocity

$\theta=0$ because we are told the cannonball is shot horizontally

$t$ is the time since the cannonball is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the cannonball has traveled before landing. This means we need to find the maximum distance in the x-component, let's call it $X_{max}$ and this occurs when $y=0$ .

So, firstly we will find the time with (2):

$0=1.5 m+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2$ (3)

Rearranging the equation:

$0=-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t+1.5 m$ (4)

$-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+(48. 1 m/s) t+1.5 m=0$ (5)

This is a <u>quadratic equation</u> (also called <u>equation of the second degree</u>) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (6)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2}$

$b=48.1 m/s$

$c=1.5 m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-48.1 \pm \sqrt{48.1^{2}-4(-4.9)(1.5)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (7)

Solving (7) we find the positive result is:

$t=9.847 s$ (8)

Substituting this value in (1):

$x=(48.1 m/s)cos(0\°) (9.847 s)$ (9)

$x=473.640 m$ This is the horizontal distance the cannonball traveled before it landed on the ground.
