The car gains Ep=mass*g*difference_in_height=11000*2.5=27500 J

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

(11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least 27,500 joules</em>.

The brain mass of a human fetus during a particular trimester can be accurately estimated from the circumference of the head by

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a. If c = 20 cm, then the mass of the brain is m = 5 g.

b. At c = 20 cm, the brain's mass is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

Explanation:

From the equation

$m\left(c\right) = \frac{c^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{c}$

we have

a. for c = 20 cm

$m\left(20\right)=\frac{20^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{20}=5,$

then the mass is m(20) = 5 g.

b. In order to find the rate of change, first we derivate

$\frac{dm}{dc}=\frac{3c^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{c^2}.$

Evaluated at c = 20 cm, we have

$\frac{dm}{dc}|_{c=20}=\frac{3\times 20^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{20^2}=15.75.$

So, at c = 20 cm, the mass of the brain is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

Someone plz answrr why is motion important in our lives

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

lives, forces and motion make things move and stay still. Pushing and pulling are examples of forces that can sped things up or slow things down. There are two types of forces, at a distance force and contact forces..

An artillery shell of mass 30 kg has a velocity of 250 m/s vertically upward. The shell explodes into two pieces; immediately af

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

9654.34 m

Explanation:

from conservation of momentum

$\begin{aligned}30 \times 250 &=-10 \times 120+20 \times V \\20 V &=30 \times 250+10 * 120 \\V &=\frac{30 \times 250+10 \times 120}{20}=435 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$

And from Conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g h\\h=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}\\h=\frac{(435(m/s))^{2}}{2 \times 9.8(m/s^{2} )}\\h=9654.34 (m)$

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.72 g need in order to have the same kinetic energy as a 1250 kg automobile traveling at

Elena L [17]

Kinetic of automobile

Mass m = 1,250 Kg; V = 11 m/s

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mV²

K.E = 1/2(1,250 Kg)(11 m/s)²

K.E = 75,625 J

Speed required for insect to have the same kinetic energy as automobile

Mass of insect = 0.72 g convert to Kg m = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

K.E = 1/2 mV² Derive V =?

V = 2 K.E/m

V = √2(75,625 J)/7.2 x 10⁻4 Kg

V = √2.1 x 10⁸ m²/s²

V = 14,491.34 m/s (velocity of insect)
