The energy expenditure value of traveling by car is 3.6 MJ/passenger-kilometer. For one person making a trip of 1000 km, if a ga

llon of gasoline contains 120 MJ, approximately how many gallons of gasoline would be required

Answer:

30[gal] would be requiered.

Explanation:

The consumption ratio is given by the following expression:

\frac{3.6[MJ]}{[1pass-km]}

To find the amount of energy needed we must multiply the ratio by the number of passengers, in this way the unit passenger-kilometer is removed from the denominator.

\frac{3.6[MJ]}{[1 pass-km]}*1[pass-1000km]\\\\ = 3600[MJ]

1 gal = 120 [MJ]

  x    = 3600[MJ]

x = 30 [gal]

A 3,000-N force gives an object an acceleration of 15 m/s^2. The mass of the object is
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

According to the second Newton's Law,

<em>✔ We have : F = m x a ⇔ m = F/a </em>

  • m = 3000/15
  • m = 200 kg

The mass of the object is therefore 200 kg.

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when:
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.

Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com
