a 1430 kg car speeds up from 7.50 m/s to 11.0 m/s in 9.30 s. Ignoring friction, how much power did that require?

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

Original KE = (1/2) (1430 kg) (7.5 m/s)² = 40,218.75 joules

Final KE = (1/2) (1430 kg) (11.0 m/s)² = 86,515 joules

Work done during the acceleration = (40218.75 - 86515) = 46,296.25 joules

Power = work/time = 46,296.25 joules / 9.3 sec = 4,978.1 watts .
_______________________________

One interesting thing to notice while you're (I'm) solving this problem
is the fact that although the car's speed only increased by about 47%,
its kinetic energy more than doubled ... increased by about 115%.
That's because kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the
speed.

The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increa

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s. Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.

<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>

Given that,

$T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s$

We have to find the value of m,

$T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\$

$m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg$

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.

What is a conservative force?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken Equivalently if a particle travels in a closed loop the total work done by a conservative force is zero
