The change in the gravitational potential energy is represented by the equation
u = ΔPE = Δmgh
since the mass of the system will remain constant and the acceleration due to gravity will also remain constant, the equation will become
u = mg Δh

A 14,700 N car is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force
Vlada [557]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

vo = 25 m/sec 
<span>vf = 0 m/sec </span>
<span>Fμ = 7100 N (Force due to friction) </span>
<span>Fg = 14700 N </span>
<span>With the force due to gravity, you can find the mass of the car: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>14700 N = m (9.8 m/sec²) </span>
<span>m = 1500 kg </span>
<span>Now, we can use the equation again to find the deacceleration due to friction: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>7100 N = (1500 kg) a </span>
<span>a = 4.73333333333 m/sec² </span>
<span>And now, we can use a velocity formula to find the distance traveled: </span>
<span>vf² = vo² + 2a∆d </span>
<span>0 = (25 m/sec)² + 2 (-4.73333333333 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>0 = 625 m²/sec² + (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>-625 m²/sec² = (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>∆d = 66.0211267605634 m </span>
<span>∆d = 66.02 m</span>

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)
worty [1.4K]

Answer: \sqrt{2}

The linear momentum p is given by the following equation:

p=m.v   (1)

Where m is the mass and v the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy K is given by:

K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}   (2)

Which is the same as:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}  

2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}   (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of \sqrt{2} or 2^{1/2}:

Applying this in (2):

K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}>>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it
andriy [413]

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

A horse is working steadily, providing 750 W of output power. How much food energy does the horse need to work for 1 hour, to th
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Under assumption that all food energy that needs the horse is transformed into work, then the horse needs approximately 3 megajoules of food energy to work for 1 hour.

Explanation:

Since horse is working steadily, the power experimented by the horse (\dot W), measured in watts, is at constant rate. Then, the work needed by the horse (W), measured in joules, is equal to that power multiplied by time (\Delta t), measured in seconds. That is:

W = \dot W\cdot \Delta t (1)

If we know that \dot W = 750\,W and \Delta t = 3600\,s, then the work needed for the horse is:

W = (750\,W)\cdot (3600\,s)

W = 2.7\times 10^{6}\,J

W = 2.7\,MJ

Under assumption that all food energy that needs the horse is transformed into work, then the horse needs approximately 3 megajoules of food energy to work for 1 hour.
