Suppose a car travels 106 km at a speed of 28 m/s and uses 1.9 gals of gasoline in the process. Only 30% of the gasoline goes in

to useful work to keep the car moving at a constant speed.
In this problem, you may assume that 1 gallon of gasoline produces 1.2 × 10^8 J of energy.
(a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed?
(b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 106 km at a speed of 28.0 m/s?

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the force is 968 N

b) For a constant speed of 30 m/s, the magnitude of the force is 1,037 N

Explanation:

<em>NOTE: The question b) will be changed in other to give a meaningful answer, because it is the same speed as the original (the gallons would be 1.9, as in the original).</em>

Information given:

d = 106 km = 106,000 m

v1 = 28 m/s

G = 1.9 gal

η = 0.3

Eff = 1.2 x 10^8 J/gal

a) We can express the energy used as the work done. This work has the following expression:

W=F\cdot d

Then, we can derive the magnitude of the force as:

F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{\eta\cdot (G\cdot Eff)}{d}=\frac{0.3*1.9*(1.8*10^8)}{106*10^3} =968\,N

b) We will calculate the force for a speed of 30 m/s.

If the force is proportional to the speed, we have:

F_2=F_1(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )=968(\frac{30}{28} )=968*1.0714=1,037\,N

Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)

So, we can solve for T from (1):

T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e

The electric force (F_e) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Listed following is a set of statements describing individual stars or characteristics of stars. Match these to the appropriate
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Red giant or super giant → very cool but very luminous

                                      → found in the upper right of the H-R diagram.

Main sequence →The majority of stars in our galaxy

                        → Sun, for example

                        → a very hot and very luminous star

White dwarfs → very hot but very dim

                     → not much larger in radius than earth  

Explanation:

Giant:

When the stars run out of their fuel that is hydrogen for the nuclear fusion reactions then they convert into Giant stars.That's why they are very cool. Giant stars have the larger radius and luminosity then the main sequence stars.

Main Sequence:

Stars are called main sequence stars when their core temperature reaches up to 10 million kelvin and their start the nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen into helium in the core of the star. That is why they are very hot and luminous. For example sun is known as to be in the stage of main sequence as the nuclear fusion reactions are happening in its core.

White dwarfs:

When the stars run out of their fuel then they shed the outer layer planetary nebula, the remaining core part that left behind is called as white dwarf. It's the most dense part as the most of the mass is concentrated in this part.

If an object were released in space far away from planted or stars and given an initial momentum, describe what would happen to
mamaluj [8]
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.

What is the force felt by the 64-kg occupant of the car? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropri
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The force is -1.67\times10^{5}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 64 kg

Suppose,  a 1400-kg car that stops from 34 km/h on a distance of 1.7 cm.

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value into the formula

0^2-(34\times\dfrac{5}{18})^2=2\times a\times 1.7\times10^{-2}

a=\dfrac{(34\times\dfrac{5}{18})^2}{2\times1.7\times10^{-2}}

a=-2623.45\ m/s²

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F=ma

F=64\times(-2623.45)

F=-1.67\times10^{5}\ N

Negative sign shows the direction of the force is in the direction opposite to the initial velocity.

Hence, The force is -1.67\times10^{5}\ N
