How is that velocity got like this? pls explain

Yanka [14]

Answer:

if a car is increasing it's acceleration uniformly in a unit time, the graph will be moving away from it's origin. that's how you get this kind of graph.

A classroom has 24 fluorescent bulbs, each of which is 32 W. how much energy does it take to light the room for a minute?(unit=J

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Energy= 46.08KJ

Explanation:

Given that the power needed to light each bulb is 32W

We know that Power = $\frac{energy}{time}$

The energy needed to light one bulb= $power*time$

Given time = 1minute = 60 seconds

Energy = $32W*60sec$ =1920J

Therefore energy needed to light one bulb is 1920J

The energy needed to light 24 bulbs = $1920*24$ =46080J=46.08KJ

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?

kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}$

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.

Explanation:

The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)

So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.

As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:

Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:

Σ $F_{y}$ =0

We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.

so the sum will be:

$N-W=0$

when solving for N we get that:

N=W

where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:

N=250kg*9.8m/s²

N=2450N

Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:

$f_{k}=N$ μ

where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.

So we get that the kinetic friction is:

$f_{k}=2450N*0.12$

$f_{k}=294$

With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:

Σ $F_{x}$ =ma

In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.

so the sum of forces look like this:

750N- $f_{k}$ =ma
