Proper design of automobile braking systems must account for heat buildup under heavy braking. Part A Calculate the thermal ener

gy dissipated from brakes in a 1600 kg car that descends a 15 ∘ hill. The car begins braking when its speed is 95 km/h and slows to a speed of 40 km/h in a distance of 0.34 km measured along the road.

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.

A particle moves in a velocity field V(x, y) = x2, x + y2 . If it is at position (x, y) = (7, 2) at time t = 3, estimate its loc
MArishka [77]

Answer:

New location at time 3.01 is given by: (7.49, 2.11)

Explanation:

Let's start by understanding what is the particle's velocity (in component form) in that velocity field at time 3:

V_x=x^2=7^2=49\\V_y=x+y^2=7+2^2=11

With such velocities in the x direction and in the y-direction respectively, we can find the displacement in x and y at a time 0.01 units later by using the formula:

distance=v\,*\, t

distance_x=49\,(0.01)=0.49\\distance_y=11\,(0.01)=0.11

Therefore, adding these displacements in component form to the original particle's position, we get:

New position: (7 + 0.49, 2 + 0.11) = (7.49, 2.11)

What is heat energy on earth escapes into space
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Latent heat, along with birds, ride those rising columns of air. This brings up a third and the ultimate mechanism by which the Earth's heat escapes into space, which is electromagnetic radiation. Every object, including the Earth's surface, absorbs and radiates heat electromagnetically

A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12.0 cm from equilibrium, and the potential energy stored is 72.0 J. What compression (as mea
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression x=12 cm

Potential energy Stored in spring=72 J

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by =\frac{kx^2}{2}

\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72

k(0.12)^2=144

k=10,000 N/m

k=10 kN/m

for 100 J energy

\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100

10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200

(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}

x_0=0.1414

x_0=14.14 cm

You are writing a report about space travel. Where would be the best place to find information? (2 points)
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Contact the National Aeronautics and Space Association

Explanation:

The National Aeronautics and Space Association is an independent organization in US which aims to enable a safe, secure, efficient space journey and launch of new satellites, spacecraft beyond the earth's orbit. It can give better information for the space travel already conducted by the astronauts. Thus will help in writing the report as it is the best place to find the information.

The match making one is Radiation is i think B and Convection i think is C and Conduction i think is A.  I think 1 is radiation. Because radiation is transferred between objects or an empty space. Number 2 i think is conduction Because conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between to objects touching. Number 3 i also i think is radiation because radiation transfers between objects. Number 4 i also think is conduction because the spoon was touching a hot pot that was on the stove so then the thermal energy was transferred between the two objects touching. number 5 I think is convection because convection is the transfer of energy by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Number 6 i think is radiation because the snake is not touching the lamp and radiation goes all across spaces. Number 7 i think is convection because convection is the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Hope this helps sorry its so long :)
