A 1400 kg car starts from rest on a horizontal road and gains a speed of 61 km/h in 19 s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at the

end of the 19 s? (b) what is the average power required of the car during the 19 s interval? (c) what is the instantaneous power at the end of the 19 s interval, assuming that the acceleration is constant?

(a) Let's convert the final speed of the car in m/s:
v_f = 61 km/h = 16.9 m/s
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2= \frac{1}{2}(1400 kg)(16.9 m/s)^2=2.00 \cdot 10^5 J

(b) The average power delivered by the engine of the car during the 19 s is equal to the work done by the engine divided by the time interval:
P= \frac{W}{\Delta t}
But the work done is equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the car, and since its initial kinetic energy is zero (because the car starts from rest), this translates into
P= \frac{K}{\Delta t}= \frac{2.00 \cdot 10^5 J}{19 s}=1.05 \cdot 10^4 W

(c) The instantaneous power is given by
P_i = Fv_f
where F is the force exerted by the engine, equal to F=ma.

So we need to find the acceleration first:
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}=  \frac{16.9 m/s}{19 s}=0.89 m/s^2
And the problem says this acceleration is constant during the motion, so now we can calculate the instantaneous power at t=19 s:
P_i = Fv=(ma)v=(1400 kg)(0.89 m/s^2)(16.9 m/s)=2.11 \cdot 10^4 W

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The hierarchical formation model suggests that galaxies may have been formed  by subsequent mergers of smaller galaxies and that today each galaxy houses at least  a supermassive black hole.

Explanation: During a fusion of galaxies, the stars that composes it suffer the tidal force, intensifying your action as the galaxies approaching. When two galaxies merges themselves, the astronomers believes that they loss a huge part of their mass, forming the supremassive black hole, that stays in the middle of the galaxie.

The supermassive black holes are originated from the evolution of high mass stars. They were formed by huge clouds of gas or clusters of millions of stars that collapsed on their own gravity when the universe was still much younger and denser.

Mama L [17]

Answer:1). Distance of far point x=0.9m

Therefore, since the image is virtual

-f=-x = -0.9m

Power of the concave lenses = 1/f = 1/-0.9

= -1.11D

2 ) near point is 21cm = 0.21m

Power = 4-1/near point

= 4/0.21

= 14.2D.

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km. What is his displacement from the
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
