An engineer is designing a small toy car that will be launched from rest. The engineer wants to maximize the kinetic energy of t

he car when it is launched by a compressed spring. He can only make one adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. Which of the following modifications to the car design would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car?
A. Decrease the mass of the car slightly.
B. Increase the mass of the car slightly.
C. Decrease the launch speed of the car slightly.

The modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly (option B).

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. The kinetic energy equal (nonrelativistically) to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

According to this question, an engineer is designing a small toy car that will be launched from rest. The engineer wants to maximize the kinetic energy of the car when it is launched by a compressed spring.

However, he can only make one adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. Considering the fact that the mass of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy.

This suggests that the modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly.

PLEASSEE HELP MEEE WITHH THESEEE
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Q1: (a)

1cm \:  = 10 {}^{ - 2}m

so

45 \times  {10}^{ - 2} m

Q2:

1km = 10 {}^{3} m \\ 6378km \times  {10}^{ 3}

this is the radius in meter

diameter = 2r

in this i don't know which choice is the right answer

Q3:

1gram = \:  {10}^{ - 3} kg

so

250 \times  {10}^{ - 3}  = 2.5 \times  {10}^{ - 1} kg

again there is no correct answer

3. Explain why one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets
valina [46]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets because  magnet's both poles  try to attract by inducing opposite pole on the metal surface,but the pole closer to the metal is able to induce more magnetic character .so, attractive force due to this is more strong as the distance is also less as compared to the other pole.

Convert one mean solar day into second​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

86400 seconds

Explanation:

To convert a mean solar day to second :

Number of hours in a solar day = 24 hours

Number of minutes per hour = 60 minutes

Number of seconds per minute = 60 minutes

Hence, the number of seconds in a solar day is :

(Number of hours in a solar day * number of minutes in an hour * number of seconds in a minute)

(24 * 60 * 60) seconds = 86400 seconds

Hence, 1 mean solar day = 86400 seconds
