Answer:

a.The 60 km/HR car

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined as the energy of a body due to motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J).

It can be expressed mathematically as

Ek = 1/2mv²......................... Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity.

(i) A car travelling at 30 km/hr, with a mass of m,

Ek = 1/2(m)(30)²

Ek = 450m J.

(ii) A car travelling at 60 km/hr, with a mass of m/2

Ek = 1/2(m/2)(60)²

Ek = 900m J.

Thus , the car travelling at 60 km/hr at half mass has a greater kinetic energy to the car traveling at 30 km/hr at full mass.

The right option is a.The 60 km/HR car

The “turning effect of a force” (T = F * r) is:
Doss [256]

Answer:

b and e

Explanation:

r x F is the formula for torque.

The "turning effect" or torque happens when concentric forces rotate an object along said center.

a) False because T = Fr = Ia (a = angular acceleration)

b) True

c) False. L = Iw (w = angular velocity), which does not equal Ia

d) False. It is torque, not the product of torque and something else

e) True.

A 500kg car is driven forward with a thrust force of 1500N. Air resistance and friction acts against the motion of the car with
Wittaler [7]
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{B}

     Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

   0.5*k*x²= mg(h_{B}-h_{A} )=mgh

   0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

         k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

                                 k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

                                    k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{C}

    spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

   0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m*V_{max}^{2}

      10812.88 *2.3²=430*V_{max}^{2}

           V_{max}=11.53 m/s
