. (a) How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) the high of a hill that car can coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110 km/h is 47.6 m

(b) thermal energy was generated by friction is 1.88 x 10^{5} J

(C) the average force of friction if the hill has a slope 2.5º above the horizontal is 373 N

Explanation:

given information:

m = 750 kg

initial velocity, v_{0} = 110 km/h = 110 x 1000/3600 = 30.6 m/s\frac{30.6^{2} }{2x9.8}

initial height, h_{0} = 22 m

slope, θ = 2.5°

(a) How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110 km/h?

according to conservation-energy

EP = EK

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_{0} ^{2}

gh = \frac{1}{2} v_{0} ^{2}

h = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2g}

  = 47.6 m

(b) If, in actuality, a 750-kg car with an initial speed of 110 km/h is observed to coast up a hill to a height 22.0 m above its starting point, how much thermal energy was generated by friction?

thermal energy = mgΔh

                         = mg (h - h_{0})

                         = 750 x 9.8 x (47.6 - 22)

                         = 188160 Joule

                         = 1.88 x 10^{5} J

(c) What is the average force of friction if the hill has a slope 2.5º above the horizontal?

f d  = mgΔh

f = mgΔh / d,

where h = d sin θ, d = h/sinθ

therefore

f = (mgΔh) / (h/sinθ)

 = 1.88 x 10^{5}/(22/sin 2.5°)

 = 373 N

Determine the weight of an average physical science textbook whose mass is 3.1 kilograms. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8
zvonat [6]
Weight equals mass*gravity
W = mg

Given m = 3.1 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2

W = (3.1)(9.8)
W = 30.38

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.​
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt
