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 convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm is located 30 cm away from a
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 15 cm

Explanation:

According to the Lens Equation we have the following:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} (1)

Where:

f=10 cm is the focal length

u=30 cm is the distance between the candle (the object) and the lens

v is the distance between the image and the lens

Isolating v:

v=\frac{uf}{u-f}} (2)

Solving:

v=\frac{(30 cm)(10 cm)}{30 cm-10 cm}} (3)

Finally:

v=15 cm This is where the image is located

How can the IMA of a first- class lever be increased?
Dimas [21]
IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage

First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1

Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2

=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2

IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2

Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.

If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot,  IMA decreases.

If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot  (X1) IMA will decrease.

Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?
sdas [7]
The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
W=q \Delta V
where q is the charge and \Delta V is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is \Delta V = 9.0 V, so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?
