To test the resiliency of its bumper during low-speed collisions, a 2 840-kg automobile is driven into a brick wall. The car's b

umper behaves like a spring with a force constant 6.00 106 N/m and compresses 3.98 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the speed of the car before impact, assuming no mechanical energy is transformed or transferred away during impact with the wall

Answer:

V= 1.82 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass , m = 2840 kg

Spring constant ,K = 6 x 10⁶ N/m

Compression in the spring , x = 3.98 cm

Lets take speed of the car before impact = V

Now by using energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

Kx^2=mv^2

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{Kx^2}{m}}

Now by putting the values in the above equation

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{6\times 10^6\times (3.98\times 10^{-2})^2}{2840}}

V= 1.82 m/s

Therefore the speed of the car before impact will be 1.82 m/s.

Which form of energy does a plant store when light is transformed during photosynthesis into sugars?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

C. Chemical energy

Explanation:

The different types of energy listed in this question are:

A) Electrical energy: it is the energy related to the flow of electrical charges (current)

B) Nuclear energy: it is the energy contained in the nuclei of the atoms, and released during nuclear reactions

C) Chemical energy: it is the energy contained in the bonds between molecules, and it is released during chemical reactions

D) Thermal energy: it is the energy associated with the motion of molecules

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to transform the light energy (coming from the Sun) into chemical energy. In fact, in this process, plants absorb CO2 (from the atmosphere) and solar energy (from the light), and they convert them into sugars (glucose) and oxygen. Therefore, the initial energy coming as solar energy is converted into energy of the bonds of the molecules of glucose (so, chemical energy).

So, the correct option is C).

Question 1  

In order to do work, the force vector must be

in the same direction as the displacement vector and the motion.

Question 2  

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object?

Pulling a trailer up a hill

Question 3  

Which situation is an example of NOT doing work?

carrying a box

Question 4  

Work is measured in

Joules

Question 5  

To find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. A couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. The same force was used to move the couch both times. If more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved?

When more work was done, the couch was moved further.

Question 6  

A weight lifter raises a 1600 N barbell to a height of 2.0 meters. How much work was done? W = Fd

3200 Joules

Question 7  

You and a friend (Alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. You both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. However, the tension in the rope is greater

when Alex climbs. Who did the most work?

Alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done  

Question 8  

Doing work at a faster rate creates power.

more

Question 9  

In one challenge on the Titan Games, competitors have to lift 200 pounds up a long ramp. Angel is able to move the weight in 42 seconds. Anthony gets it done in only 38 seconds. Which statement is true?

Anthony has more power than Angel.  

Question 10  

A mountain climber exerts 41,000 J of work to climb a cliff. How much power does the climber need if she wants to finish in only 500 seconds? Power = Work / time

82 Watts

Question 11  

Your family is moving to a new apartment. While lifting a box 83 Joules of work is done to put the box on a truck, you exert an upward force of 75 N for 3 s. How much power is required to do this? (Hint: You only need two of the 3 numbers given!) Power = Work / time

27.7 Watts

What is the new current?
nikdorinn [45]
Voltage = current x resistance
since R is doubled, current must reduce by half.
So,
new current = 120/2 = 60mA
