Answer:

2048.63 N

Explanation:

Force: The product of mass and the  acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

From the question

P = F×V.................... Equation 1

Where P = power generated by the car, F = Total resistive force acting on the car, V = Velocity of the car.

make F the subject of the equation

F = P/V................ Equation 2

Given: P = 75.0 hp = (75×745.7) = 55927.5 W, V = 27.3 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

F = 55927.5/27.3

F = 2048.63 N

Hence the total resistive force acting on the car = 2048.63 N

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

11250 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Normal force (R) = 15000 N

Coefficient of static friction (μ) = 0.75

Frictional force (F) =?

Friction and normal force are related by the following equation:

F = μR

Where:

F is the frictional force.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

R is the normal force.

With the above formula, we can calculate the frictional force acting on the car as follow:

Normal force (R) = 15000 N

Coefficient of static friction (μ) = 0.75

Frictional force (F) =?

F = μR

F = 0.75 × 15000

F = 11250 N

Therefore, the frictional force acting on the car is 11250 N

An electron and a proton, starting from rest, are accelerated through an electric potential difference of the same magnitude. in
Yakvenalex [24]
The charges are the same in absolute value, so the change of potential energy is the same. That means that the change in kinetic energy is also the same. Then:

1 = Ke/Kp = m_e *v_e^2 / m_p * v_p^2, or

v_e/v_p = sqrt( m_p/m_e),

So the speed of the electron will be sqrt( m_p/m_e) times greater than the speed of the proton

What is the friction​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 5.09 seconds

b) 107.07 meters

Explanation:

a) As we know

t_2- t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2 X}{a} }

Substituting the given values we get

t_2 - t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 52}{4} } \\t_2 - t_1 = 5.09

It takes 5 .09 s for the motorcycle to accelerate until it catches up with the car

b)

X_{t`2} = v_i \sqrt{\frac{2X}{a} } + 0.5 a\sqrt{\frac{2X}{a} }\\X_{t`2} =  (v_i + 0.5 a) \sqrt{\frac{2X}{a} }\\X_{t`2} =  ( 19 + 2)  \sqrt{\frac{2* 52}{4} }\\X_{t`2} =  21 * 5.09\\X_{t`2} = 107.07

Korolek [52]
The main (and only) purpose of the turbine in the turbo jet engine is to drive the air compressor. The turbojet engine works by compressing the air using an inlet and a compressor, then mixing the fuel with the compressed air, then passing the mixture to the combustor, then passing the high pressure air through a turbine and a nozzle.
