An electric drag racer is much like its piston engine counterpart, but instead it is powered by an electric motor running off of

onboard batteries. These vehicles are capable of covering a 1/4 mile straight-line track in 12 s .
A) Determine the acceleration of the drag racer in units of m/s2. (Assume that the acceleration is constant throughout the race.)
B) How does the value you get compare with the acceleration of gravity?
C) Calculate the final speed of the drag racer in mi/h.

Answer:

5.5879 m/s²

0.56961g

149.9976 mph

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 0.25 miles

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 0.25\times 1609.34=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0.25\times 1609.34\times 2}{12^2}\\\Rightarrow a=5.5879\ m/s^2

The acceleration is 5.5879 m/s²

Dividing by g

\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{5.5879}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=0.56961g

The acceleration of these cars is 0.56961 times g

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+5.5879\times 12\\\Rightarrow v=67.0548\ m/s

Converting mph

67.0548\times \dfrac{3600}{1609.34}=149.9976\ mph

The speed is 149.9976 mph

Maru [420]

Answer:

The doorbell transforms electrical energy into sound.

Explanation:

The doorbell MAY turn electrical energy into motion of a striker which then impacts a resonator creating sound. However all door bells do not have solenoids. Some are electronic playing recordings when activated.

All doorbells do produce sound, though.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Homeostasis: When bacteria or viruses that can make you ill get into your body, your lymphatic system kicks in to help maintain homeostasis.

Metabolism: The processes of making and breaking down glucose molecules are example of metabolism.(respiration and photosynthesis)

Growth:The liver continues to form new cells to replace senescent and dying ones.

Hope these examples help you.

An experiment is conducted such that an applied force is exerted on a 5kg object as it travels across a horizontal surface in wh
Katen [24]

If an experiment is conducted such that an applied force is exerted on an object, a student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object.

The  graph of the net force exerted on the object as a function of the object’s distance traveled is attached below.

  • A student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object by Calculating the area bound by the line of best fit and the horizontal axis from 0m to 5m

A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.
avanturin [10]

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}

V_2=17582.4L

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L
