The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. the car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.9

0 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 62.3 m long, all the way to the tree. with what speed does the car then strike the tree?

Let u =  the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.

The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.

Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
      u = 27.2546 m/s

Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
   = 2.7696 m/s

Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)

Suppose you have a Frisbee with a mass of 0.10 kg. You first throw it with a force of 5N and then change the force you throw it
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The acceleration increases.

Explanation:

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have \Sigma F=ma. We can see that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Therefore, as force increases, either mass or acceleration must increase as well, and vice versa. Since mass is maintained here, if you increase the force applied to the Frisbee, the acceleration will increase as well.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a
viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  COP_1 = 9.49  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is  T_1 =  -8.00^oC =  265 \  K

     The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is   T_2 =  23.2 ^oC =  296.2 \  K

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

        COP =  \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1  }

=>     COP =  \frac{265}{296.2 - 265  }

=>     COP = 8.49

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

            COP_1 =  \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49
