When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for

the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 168 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 23 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N

andrew-mc [135]
In fresh water sound waves travel at 1497m/s at 25 degrees, I'll assume that's the characteristics of the water.

If it's 0.01s then you need to divide the speed by 100 to get the, 14.97, however it gets there and back in that time so you need to halve it.

Which of the following statements does NOT accurately describe the Berlin Airlift?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Berlin Airlift is best described as the aircraft used to delivered needed food and supplies to the city of Berlin through the air because all other routes were blocked by the Soviet Union.

<h3>What is Berlin Airlift?</h3>

The Berlin airlift was a 1940s military operation that supplied West Berlin with food and other vital goods by air after the Soviet Union blockaded the city.

Thus, the Berlin Airlift is best described as the aircraft used to delivered needed food and supplies to the city of Berlin through the air because all other routes were blocked by the Soviet Union.

Which jovian planet should have the most extreme seasonal changes? a. Saturn b. Neptune c. Jupiter d. Uranus
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D). Uranus.

Explanation:

Jovian planets are described as the planets which are giant balls of gases and located farthest from the sun which primarily include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

As per the question, 'Uranus' is the jovian planet that would have the most extreme seasonal changes as its tilted axis leads each season to last for about 1/4 part of its 84 years orbit. The strong tilted axis encourages extreme changes in the season on Uranus. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Why is 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast?
forsale [732]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Michelson contrast is used for patterns where the distribution of bright and dark segments is nearly equal.

It is given by:

m= \frac{I_{max}-I{min}}{I_{max}+I{min} }

where I_max = maximum illumination and I_min = minimum illumination

we know that

typically, I_min = 54% of I_max  (general standard)

or I_min = 0.54 I_max

putting this value in above equation to get m

this approximately corresponds to m = 0.3 or 30%

hence, 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast
