A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st

op the bus?
Physics

Bad White [126]2 years ago

For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false
Kay [80]

Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>C. maintenance </h2>

Explanation:

I personally believe one key disadvantages is the cost of maintaining the equipment unlike the gym where you have to subscribe for the month or the year and forget about anything, owning the gym equipment comes with the extra cost and responsibilities of maintenance to the owners.

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res
Luden [163]
The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW
