Answer:

(a) P=33000W

(b) P=51000W

Explanation:

The average power is defined as the amount of work done during a time interval:

P=\frac{W}{t}(1)

According to work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. So, we have:

W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_0\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}\\(2)

Recall that the weight is given by:

w=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}(3)

The car accelerates uniformly from rest (v_0=0). Replacing (3) in (2), we have:

W=\frac{wv_f^2}{2g}

(a) Finally, we replace this in (1):

P=\frac{wv_f^2}{2gt}\\P=\frac{9000N(20\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5.6s)}\\P=33000W

(b)

P=\frac{14000N(20\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5.6s)}\\P=51000W

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

A student analyzes data of the motion of a planet as it orbits a star that is in deep space. The orbit of the planet is consider
Valentin [98]

Explanation:

The orbit of the planet is considered to be stable and does not change over time. This means that the force of gravity and inertia are perfectly balanced. Leading to forward motion of Planet and moons under force of gravity of some other large body(Most probably stars).This is in turns leads to formation of orbit.
