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

How is the bike in the picture a system and how is the Earth a system?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The earth is a vast, complex system powered by two sources of energy: an internal source (the decay of radioactive elements in the geosphere, which generates geothermal heat) and an external source (the solar radiation received from the Sun); the vast majority of the energy in the earth system comes from the Sun.

A 10 V battery is connected to a voltage divider circuit
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

a) C. 7.5 V

b) A. 2.5 V

Explanation:

First, we find the total resistance of the circuit. A voltage divider circuit is a series circuit. Therefore, its total resistance will be the sum of individual resistances:

R = R_{1}+R_{2}\\R = 100\ \Omega + 300\ \Omega\\R = 400\ \Omega\\

a)

Now, we will apply the voltage divider rule on this circuit to find the voltage across the 300 Ω Resistor (R₂):

V_{2} = R_{2}\frac{V}{R}\\\\V_{2} = (300\ \Omega)\frac{10\ V}{400\ \Omega}\\\\

V₂ = 7.5 V

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>C. 7.5 V</u>

<u></u>

b)

Now, the voltage across the 100 Ω Resistor (R₁) will be:

V = V_{1}+V_{2}\\V_{1} = V-V_{2}\\V_{1} = 10\ V - 7.5\ V\\V_{1}=2.5\ V

Therefore,the correct option is:

<u>A. 2.5 V</u>

A 8.57-m ladder with a mass of 21.4 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1311.5\ \text{Nm}

Explanation:

l = Length of ladder = 8.57 m

m = Mass of ladder = 21.4 kg

F = Force on ladder = 258 N

\alpha = Angular acceleration = 1.63\ \text{rad/s}^2

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Net torque is given by

\tau=lf-\dfrac{l}{2}mg\\\Rightarrow \tau=8.57\times 258-\dfrac{8.57}{2}\times 21.4\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \tau=1311.5\ \text{Nm}

The net torque acting on the ladder is 1311.5\ \text{Nm}.
