You don't convert kilograms to newtons. By the time you've heard of these units, you know that 'kilogram' is a unit of mass, 'newton' is a unit of force or weight, and that mass and weight are different things.
Mass and force are <u>related</u> by Newton's second law:
Force = Mass x acceleration .
From this simple formula, you can see that in order to relate a mass to a force, you need to know an acceleration. And if the acceleration changes, then the relationship between the force and the mass also changes. So there's no direct conversion.
ON EARTH ONLY, one kilogram of mass <em>weighs</em> 9.8 newtons. The acceleration that connects them is the acceleration of gravity on Earth. In other places, with different gravitational accelerations, 1 kilogram weighs more or less newtons.
But they don't convert directly. That would be like asking "How do you convert miles to miles-per-hour ?"
Answer:
The total frictional force is 358.0 newtons
Explanation:
Power is the amount of average work (W) an object does on a period of time (Δt):
Remember average work is average force (F) times displacement (Δs):
but displacement over time is average speed , then:
(1)
That is, the power of the car is the force the engine does times the speed of the car. As the question states, if the car is at constant velocity then the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the air and the road, that is by Newton's first law, the force the motor of the car does is equal the force of frictional forces. So, to find the frictional forces we only have to solve (1) for F:
Knowing that 1hp is 746W then 30hp=22380W and 1 mile = 1609m then 140 mph = 225308 = , then:
Answer:
The acceleration is 14.28 km/h^2
Explanation:
Step one:
Given data
initial speed u= 0 km/h
final speed v= 140km/h
time t= 9.8 seconds
Required
The acceleration of the car
Step two:
From a= v-u/t
substitute
a= 140-0/9.8
a=140/9.8
a=14.28 km/h^2
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
= (5 / second) x (30 mm)
= 150 mm/second = 0.15 meter/second .
