Answer: "The car that finishes last has the lowest power."

Well this question looks like it makes some assumptions.  So assuming that both cars have the same mass and experience the same wind resistance regardless of speed and same internal frictions, then we could say "The car that finishes last has the lowest power".  The reason is that for a given race the cars must overcome losses associated with motion.  Since they all travel the same distance, the amount of work will be the same for both.  This is because work is force times distance.  If the force applied is the same in both cases (identical cars with constant wind resistance) and the distance is the same for both (a fair race track) then W=F·d will be the same.
Power, however, is the work done divided by the time over which it is done.  So for a slower car, time t will be larger.  The power ratio W/t will be smaller for the longer time (slower car).

An asteroid, whose mass is 3.6 × 10-4 times the mass of Earth, revolves in a circular orbit around the Sun at a distance that is
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) 2.02 years

b) 8.1 x 10⁻⁸.

Explanation:

Time period of a rotating body T² is proportional to radius of orbit R³ So

T₁² / T₂² = R₁³ /R₂³ ( T₁ and R₁ is time period and radius of orbit of the earth .)

1² / T₂² =( 1/1.6)³

T₂ = 2.02 years.

Kinetic energy of an orbiting body = 1/2 m v₀² ( v₀ is orbital speed)

= 1/2 m x 2 g R = m x G m/R² X R= m² x G /R

Kinetic energy of asteroid K₁ / kinetic energy of earth K₂ =

(mass of asteroid/mass of earth)² x( radius of earth / radius of asteroid)

=( 3.6 x 10⁻⁴)² x 1/1.6 = 8.1 x 10⁻⁸ .

A girl weighing 600 N steps on a bathroom scale that contains a stiff spring. In equilibrium, the spring is compressed 1.0 cm un
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Chlorine exist in Nature as two Chlorine atoms covalently bonded together Why does this occur
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

It is one of the 7 diatomics

Explanation:

Br

I

N

Cl

H

O

F

^ these are the 7 diatomic molecules. Atoms of these elements exist as a molecule consisting of two covalently bonded atoms of the same element.

Simply put, for these elements, the diatomic state of the atom is much more stable than the unbound one.
