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

Gnoma [55]
The distance covered by Arthur is
3t
The distance covered by Betty from where Arthur started is
100 - 2t
They meet each other when this distance is equal
3t = 100 - 2t
t = 20 s

Since the dog has a constant speed of 5m/s, the distance that Spot has run is
5 m/s (20s) = 100 m

I don't know the answer can anybody help?

We don't have enough information in the picture to answer that question.

The disembodied right hand could just as well grab the wire in the other direction, with the thumb pointing to the right.

Maybe if we knew WHY the hand is holding the wire in this direction, and what other electrical phenomenon may be involved, we might be able to say something about the current in the wire.

(Actually, we don't even know if it's a wire. It might be a soda straw, a coat hanger, or a pool cue.)
