Answer:

276712.33 Watt , 371 h p

Explanation:

m = 500 kg, u = 0, v = 100 m/s, s = 400 m, t = 7.30 s

frictional force = 1200 N

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 as

100 x 100 = 0 + 2 x a x 400

a = 12.5 m/s^2

Applied force, F = m x a = 500 x 12.5 = 6250 N

Net Force, Fnet = applied force - frictional force = 6250 - 1200 = 5050 N

Power, P = Work / time = Net force x distance / time

P = 5050 x 400 / 7.30 =  276712.33 Watt

1 hp = 746 watt

So, P = 276712.33 / 746 = 371 h p

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed v_f = 100 m/s, its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
W= K_f - K_i = K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is -W_f:
W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot  \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

On a popular amusement park ride, the riders stand along the inside wall of a large cylinder with a diameter of 8.27 m. The cyli
____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m   ⇒  R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W  ⇒  μ*N = m*g   <em>(I)</em>

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation <em>I</em>

<em />

μ*N = m*g    ⇒    μ*m*ω²*R = m*g   ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379
