convert watts to hpThe headlights of a moving car draw about 9 A from the 12 V alternator, which is driven by the engine. Assume

the alternator is 85% efficient (its output electrical power is 85% of its input mechanical power), and calculate the horsepower the engine must supply to run the lights.

Answer: 0.17hp

Explanation:

Power output = power input × 85%

Power output = power input × 0.85

Power input = IV/0.85

Power input = 9×12/0.85

Power input = 108/0.85

= 127.058 watts

Converting to horse power = 127.058W × 1horse power/745.7W

= 127.058 × 0.001341

= 0.17hp

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 45 units. If the mass of Object 1 is doubled, then the new grav
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

so, if you double one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(2*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 2* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 2* Fgravity

so, the correct answer will be 2×45 = 90 units.

Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 36-N pushing fo

Answer:

F = 26.04 N

Explanation:

As we know that system of two boxes are moving on frictionless surface

So here if two boxes are considered as a system

then we have

F = (m_1 + m_2) a

m_1 = 24 kg

m_2 = 62 kg

F = 36 N

36 = (24 + 62) a

a = 0.42 m/s^2

Now since we know that both the boxes are moving together so force applied by first box on other box is given as

F = ma

F = (62 \times 0.42)

F = 26.04 N

A passenger bus is travelling 28.0 m/s to the right when the driver applies the brakes. The bus stops in 5.00 s. What is the acc
MAVERICK [17]
Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right
