Answer:

The work done by the car is 363 kJ

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

Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(1500)(22)²

W = 750 × 484

W = 363000 J

W = 363 kJ

Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ

A video game includes an asteroid that is programmed to move in a straight line across a 17-inch monitor according to the equati

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is $2.71\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

$x=6.5t-2.3t^3$

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2$

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

$6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t$

Put t = 0.971 s

$a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2$

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is $2.71\ m/s^2$ and it is decelerating.

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity

statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res

BARSIC [14]

Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

(2/5) of (9 volts) = 18/5 = 3.6 volts .

. During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from th

mixer [17]

Answer:

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$F \Delta t = m (v-u)$
