Which vehicle has the LEAST kinetic energy? 18-wheeler, minivan, car, or bike?

1 answer:

7 0

We can make pretty good guesses for their masses, but kinetic energy also depends on their speeds, which we don't know, and may change.

As an example ... If the truck, the van, the car, and the bike are all parked at the mall, then a scampering mouse has more kinetic energy than all of them combined.

As the question stands, no answer is possible.

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib

Answer:

F = 1958.4 N

Explanation:

By volume conservation of the fluid on both sides we can say that volume of fluid displaced on the side of the car must be equal to the volume of fluid on the other side

so we have

$L_1A_1 = L_2A_2$

$1.20(\pi 18^2) = L_2(\pi 5^2)$

$L_2 = 15.55 m$

so the car will lift upwards by distance 1.2 m and the other side will go down by distance 15.55 m

So here the net pressure on the smaller area is given as

$P = P_{atm} + \frac{12,000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + \rho g (1.2 + 15.55)$

excess pressure exerted on the smaller area is given as

$P_{ex} = \frac{12000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + 800(9.81)(16.75)$

$P_{ex} = 2.49\times 10^5 Pascal$

now the force required on the other side is given as

$F = P_ex (area)$

$F = (2.49 \times 10^5)(\pi (0.05)^2)$

$F = 1958.4 N$

A gas hot water heater is 65% efficient. The energy output to heat the water is 2.3 kWh.

Art [367]

Answer:

3.5 kWh

1.2 kWh are lost

Explanation:

65=2.3/Ein*100

0.65=2.3/Ein

Ein=2.3/.65

Ein=3.5

3.5-2.3=1.2 kWh

Addition of _____________ to pure water causes the least increase in conductivity. A) weak bases B) acetic acid C) ionic compoun

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water in itself is a bad conductor of electricity. Any compound that dissociates in water into ions and charged molecules, will increase conductivity of water. In this case ionic compounds weak basis and acids will put in free ions into the water. The ions can pass electricity because they are attracted to respective poles of electricity depending on their charges. In water, these ions are free moving unlike when they are immobilized in their lattice in solid form.

Organic compounds are mainly made of covalent bonds (around carbon) hence do not dissociate in water.
