In magazine car tests an important indicator of performance is the zero to 60 mph (0 to 96.6 km/h) acceleration time. A time bel

ow 6 s is considered to be extremely quick. If a car with mass 1300 kg were dropped vertically from a great height, how long would it take to go from zero to 60 mph and what would the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy be during this time?

Answer:

2.73414 seconds

467622.66798 J

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v=60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.822\ m/s

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{26.822^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=36.66766\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 36.66766=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{36.66766\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

or

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{26.822-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

The time taken is 2.73414 seconds

The potential energy is given by

U=mgh\\\Rightarrow U=1300\times 9.81\times 36.66766\\\Rightarrow U=467622.66798\ J

The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>

A particle leaves the origin with a speed of 3.6 106 m/s at 34 degrees to the positive x axis. It moves in a uniform electric fi
Andrej [43]

Answer:

E = -4556.18 N/m

Explanation:

Given data

u = 3.6×10^6 m/sec

angle = 34°

distance x = 1.5 cm = 1.5×10^-2 m  (This data has been assumed not given in

Question)

from the projectile motion the horizontal distance traveled by electron is

x = u×cosA×t

⇒t = x/(u×cos A)

We also know that force in an electric field is given as

F = qE

q= charge , E= strength of electric field

By newton 2nd law of motion

ma = qE

⇒a = qE/m

Also, y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×a×t^2

⇒y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×(qE/m)×t^2

if y = 0 then

⇒t = 2mu×sinA/(qE) = x/(u×cosA)

Also, E = 2mu^2×sinA×cosA/(x×q)

Now plugging the values we get

E = 2×9.1×10^{-31}×3.6^2×10^{12}×(sin34°)×(cos34°)/(1.5×10^{-2}×(-1.6)×10^{-19})

E = -4556.18 N/m

V125BC [204]

Answer:

M = ρ V = 9 gm/cm^ 3 * cm^3 = 27 gm

a = (V2 - V1) / t = (6 - 2) m/s / 12 s = 1/3 m/s^2     the acceleration

F = M a = 27 gm * 1/3 m/s^2 = 9 dynes      net force applied
