NO.

Lightning is dangerous

Also a car has many parts that are electrical and they can explode and cause other damage.

The car will explode (very likely) if the person is not injured immediately

1. How is a whistling teapot like a volcano?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Because of the build up of pressure. There is so much steam coming from such a compressed point, it’s coming out in force.

Now think of that same spot being closed, it only has one place to go but it can’t leave, so that pressure will build and build and then BOOM, it explodes.

In short, the answer is the pressure being released from a small point, and how that energy is released.

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed

dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = $\frac{frequency}{speed of light}$

$20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster

astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{145-0}{4.45}\\\Rightarrow a=32.58\ m/s^2$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as-u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.58\times 402-0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=161.84\ m/s$

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.

A 1100 kg car starts from rest and accelerates for 5 seconds at 4.6m/s/s how much power does the car generate

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Explanation:

Power is a term that defines the rate at which energy is expended whenever work is done.

Power can be given as Force X velocity.

Force can be found using the formula:

F = mass X acceleration.

In this case,

F = 1100kg X 4.6m/s2

F = 5060 N

The final velocity, v of the car can be obtained from this formula:

v = u+ at

U = initial velocity = 0 (since the car started from rest)

a = acceleration = 4.6m/s2

t = time = 5 seconds

v = 0 + 4.6 X 5 = 23 m/s

Therefore, the power expended is 5060N X 23m/s=116,380W

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW
