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 at least 27,500 joules.

9)A 64 kg parent and a 16 kg child meet at the center of an ice rink. They place their hands together and push. (A) Is the

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(A) The same

(B) More

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the parent, m₁ = 64 kg

The mass of the child, m₂ = 16 kg

(A) By Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite

Therefore, the action of the parent on the child is equal to the reaction of the child on the parent and vice versa

Therefore, the force experienced by the child is the same as the force experienced by the parent

(B) Newton's second law states that an objects acceleration is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Therefore, the parent and the child both experience the same force but the mass of the child is less than the mass of the parent and therefore, by Newton's second law, the acceleration of the child will be more than the acceleration of the parent for the same given force

Let F₁ represent the force experienced by the parent, let F₂ represent the force experienced by the child and let a₁ represent the magnitude of the parent's acceleration

By Newton's third law, we have;

F₁ = F₂

Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

We can write, F = m × a

Therefore;

F₁ = m₁ × a₁ and F₂ = m₂ × a₂

∴ F₁ = F₂ gives;

m₁ × a₁ = m₂ × a₂

a₁ = (m₂ × a₂)/m₁ = (16 × 2.5)/64 = 0.625

∴ The magnitude of the parent's acceleration = a₁ = 0.625 m/s²

In a nuclear power plant, the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100°C because of what?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The temperature of the water increases because the nuclear reactor heats it producing steam

Explanation:

The nuclear power plants are usually defined as those thermal plants where the nuclear reactors are used in order to generate heat that eventually leads to the rotating of the turbines and produces electricity. Here the nuclear reactor heats the water, and it increases above a temperature of 100°C, where this heat energy plays a key role in the entire process. It is an efficient method as it does not lead to the emission of any green house gases that are harmful to the environment.

A car is traveling at 108 km/h, stuck behind a slower car. Finally the road is clear and the car pulls over to make a pass. The

mezya [45]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the car is 2.143 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let assume that car accelerates uniformly, in that case, we can obtain the value of acceleration by using the following equation of motion:

$v = v_{o}+a\cdot t$
