Power is calculated by dividing the work done with the time interval of the motion. Work, on the other hand, is force times the distance traveled. Therefore, we can calculate as follows:

60.0 mi/h = 26.82 m/s

The car accelerates at: 

<span>v2 = v1 + at </span>
<span>a = [v2 - v1] / t </span>
<span>a = 1.49m/s² </span>

<span>The distance it travels at this acceleration in 15.0 s is: </span>

<span>d = [v1 + v2] t / 2 </span>
<span>d = (0 + 22.4m/s)15.0s / 2 </span>
<span>d = 168m </span>


<span>P = m (a)(d) / t </span>
<span>= (1300kg) (1.49m/s²) (168m) / 15.0s </span>
<span>= 22,700 W</span>

Answer:

35.6 kW

Explanation:

Given data

mass (m): 1400 kg

speed (v): 60.0 mi/h. In SI units,

\frac{60.0mi}{h}.\frac{1609.34m}{1mi}.\frac{1h}{3600s} =26.8m/s

time (t): 14.0 s

The acceleration (a) of the car is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t} =\frac{26.8m/s}{14.0s} =1.91m/s^{2}

The force (F) exerted is:

F = m × a = 1400 kg × 1.91 m/s² = 2.67 × 10³ N

The distance (d) travelled is:

d = 1/2 × a × t² = 1/2 × 1.91 m/s² × (14.0 s)² = 187 m

The work (w) done is:

w = F × d = 2.67 × 10³ N × 187 m = 4.99 × 10⁵ J

The power (P) of the car engine is:

P = w / t = 4.99 × 10⁵ J / 14.0 s = 3.56 × 10⁴ W = 35.6 kW

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”

Identify the generic outer electron configuration for the halogens.
Delicious77 [7]
<span>The Halogen outer layer is considered to be full with eight electrons. Halogen is also considered to be part of the Noble gases classification. The exchange of electrons in the halogen atom renders a photon energy pulse with produces light. The consentrated light spectrum is produced in the halogen light bulbs and halogen laser products.</span>

Consider an object sliding at constant velocity along a frictionless surface. Which of the following best describes the forces o
Aliun [14]
-- The net vertical force on the object is zero.
Otherwise it would be accelerating up or down.

-- The net horizontal force on the object is zero.
Otherwise it would be accelerating horizontally,
that is, its 'velocity' would not be constant.  That
would contradict information given in the question.

The total net force on the object is the resultant of the
net vertical component and net horizontal component.

Total net force =  √(0² + 0²)

                         =  √(0 + 0)

                         =  √0

                         =  Zero.

The correct answer is the last choice on the list.

Also, you know what ! ?  It doesn't even matter whether the surface it's
sliding on is frictionless or not. 

If the object's velocity is constant, then the NET force on it must be zero. 
If it's sliding on sandpaper, then something must be pushing it with constant
force, to balance the friction force, and make the net force zero.  If the total
net force isn't zero, then the object would have to be accelerating ... either
its speed, or its direction, or both, would have to be changing.

The largest of the terrestrial planets is _____.
vladimir1956 [14]
The terrestrial planets are those that are similar to Earth. In Laint terra means Earth and Earth is Tierra.

The terrestrial planets have solid surface made up of rocks and metals.

There are four terrestrial planet in our planetary (solar) system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

You can verify the sizes of those planets in many places.

Earth is the largest of the terrestrial planets.
