Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.
ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

A 73.0 kg firefighter climbs a flight of stairs 9.0 m high. how much work is required? j
pshichka [43]
The strength of the fireman in vertical direction will be given by F = m * g. Then, the work done will be given by definition by W = F * d. Substituting the expression of the Force in that of the work, we have that the work will be W = m * g * d. Substituting the given values and assuming that g = 10m / s ^ 2, we have a total work of W = (73) * (10) * (9) = 6570 J

Several light bulbs, each of resistance 1.5 Ω, are connected in a series across a 120 V source of emf. If the current through th
Leni [432]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

40 light bulbs

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The total resistance of components or bulbs in series is given as the sum of resistance of all the components.

Thus; if there are bulbs in series each with a resistance of 1.5 Ω, the the total resistance will be; 1.5nΩ

From the ohms law;

V = IR , where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.

Thus; R = V/i

         R = 120/2

            = 60 Ω

But, there are n bulbs each with 1.5 Ω; thus there are;

n = 60/1.5

<u>  = 40 Bulbs </u>
