What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.

Suppose a car travels 106 km at a speed of 28 m/s and uses 1.9 gals of gasoline in the process. Only 30% of the gasoline goes in

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the force is 968 N

b) For a constant speed of 30 m/s, the magnitude of the force is 1,037 N

Explanation:

<em>NOTE: The question b) will be changed in other to give a meaningful answer, because it is the same speed as the original (the gallons would be 1.9, as in the original).</em>

Information given:

d = 106 km = 106,000 m

v1 = 28 m/s

G = 1.9 gal

η = 0.3

Eff = 1.2 x 10^8 J/gal

a) We can express the energy used as the work done. This work has the following expression:

$W=F\cdot d$

Then, we can derive the magnitude of the force as:

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{\eta\cdot (G\cdot Eff)}{d}=\frac{0.3*1.9*(1.8*10^8)}{106*10^3} =968\,N$

b) We will calculate the force for a speed of 30 m/s.

If the force is proportional to the speed, we have:

$F_2=F_1(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )=968(\frac{30}{28} )=968*1.0714=1,037\,N$

Why does a solid change to liquid when heat is added

marissa [1.9K]

heat excites molecules at their "lattice" sites. Enough to break the lattice bonds set the molecules free of each other and ... melt.
