Forces contribute to the net force on a car rolling down a ramp

1 answer:

8 0

Well if you're asking for the forces, here ya go.

There are a ton of forces that act upon a car while it rolls down a hill, such as:

-Gravity pushing down on the mass of the car
-The ramp (or ground) pushing back up on the car at an angle (making it move)
-Friction in the form of the tires on the ramp and air resistance
-Normal Force perpendicular to gravity on the ramp

Now the question doesn't tell me if the engine is powering the car or not, it only says it is "Rolling"

But if the engine were to be driving the wheels, then Engine Force will be applied at the angle of the ramp.

A 920-kg compact car moving at 92 m/s has approximately 3,893,440 Joules of kinetic energy. What is the change in kinetic energy

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy = 3297280 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 920 kg

Speed of a car, v = 92 m/s

Kinetic energy, K = 3,893,440 J

If the speed of a car, V = 36 m/s

Net kinetic energy is given by :

$K_n=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\times (36)^2\\\\K_n=596160\ J$

The change in kinetic energy = 3,893,440 - 596160

= 3297280 J

So, the change in kinetic energy of the car is 3297280 J.

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Abbie is one meter from the center o

klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

$a=r\omega^2$

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let $r_1$ is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and $r_2$ is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :

$a_1=r_1\omega^2$ ...... (1)

$r_1=1\ m$

Acceleration of Zak's is :

$a_2=r_2\omega^2$ .......(2)

$r_2=2\ m$

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{a_2}{2}$

So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

This reaction appears to be destroying the logs. when it is over only ash will remain, the law of conservation of mass tells us

Advocard [28]

The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.
