Only about 36% of the energy from petrol is used to move a car. What happens to the rest of it?

1 answer:

6 0

Hmm not sure that math is correct but we must remember that energy is never destroyed just transferred. E.g light energy is transferred into heat. So when looking at a car we have
1.friction energy. This is the car running alone the road and wind.
2. Kentic energy. This is the car moving.
3.heat energy. When petrol combust it produces heat energy.

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

$mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s$

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 0.750 m3>s. (a) How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4

kati45 [8]

Answer:

velocity = 472 m/s

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Explanation:

given data

steady rate = 0.750 m³/s

diameter = 4.50 cm

solution

we use here flow rate formula that is

flow rate = Area × velocity .............1

0.750 = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (4.50× $10^{-2}$ )² × velocity

solve it we get

velocity = 472 m/s

and

when it 3 time diameter

put valuer in equation 1

0.750 = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × 3 × (4.50× $10^{-2}$ )² × velocity

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Pls help<br> What graph indicates no reference to direction of motion, and explain why.

Komok [63]

Answer:

graph A

Explanation:

the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)

but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)
