We will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law. At the same time we will convert everything to the system of international units.

m = 3500lb = 1587.57kg

The values of the velocities are,

\text{Initial Velocity} = V_i = 0

\text{Final Velocity} = V_f = 60mph = 26.822m/s

We know that the acceleration is equivalent to the change of the speed in a certain time therefore

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

a = \frac{26.822-0}{5}

a = 5.36m/s^2

Now applying the Newton's second law we have,

F= ma

F = (1587.57)(5.36)

F = 8516.36N

Therefore the approximate magnitude is 8516.36N

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.

Can somebody help me with this I need to pass

<h2>Answer:Radiation-3,Conduction-1,Convection-2</h2>

Explanation:

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

These waves do not require any medium.This is the way we get heat from sun.Radiation is the quickest mode to transfer of heat.

Conduction is the transfer of heat through collisions of atomic particles.

This phenomenon largely occurs in solids like metals.The neighbour atoms sets the atoms into random motion thereby raising the temperature.

Convection is the transfer of heat through actual movement of medium particle.

This phenomenon occurs in gases an liquids.The medium particles actually traverse through the space transferring the heat.
