Jim is driving a 2268-kg pickup truck at 30.0m/sand releases his foot from the accelerator pedal. The car eventually stops due t

o an effective friction force that the road, air, and other things exert on the car. The friction force has an average magnitude of 700N .Part A Determine the initial kinetic energy of the truck.Part B Determine the stopping distance of the truck.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2268 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 30 m/s

The friction force has an average magnitude of 700 N, f = -700 N

(a) The initial kinetic energy of the truck is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2268\times (30)^2\\\\K=1.02\times 10^6\ J$

(b) Finally, the stops due to an effective friction force that the road, final speed is 0. Let d is the stopping distance of the truck. using third equation of motion to find it as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{-u^2}{2a}$

Since, f = ma

$d=\dfrac{-u^2m}{2f}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(30)^2\times 2268}{-2\times 700}\\\\d=1458\ m$

So, the stopping distance of the truck is 1458 meters.

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

$x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km$

$y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km$

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

$x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km$

$y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km$

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

$s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km$

$tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71$

$\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o$ north of east

You need to produce a set of cylindrical copper wire 3.5 m long that will have a

vazorg [7]

Solution :

We know, resistance is given by :

$R = \dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

$A = \dfrac{\rho l }{R}\\\\A = \dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8} \times 3.5 }{0.125}\\\\A = 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$

Now, we know mass of wire is given by :

$Mass = Density \times Volume\\\\\M = 8.9 \times 10^3 \times 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \times 3.5 kg\\\\M = 0.01500\ kg\\\\M = 15.00\ gram$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is an example of kinetic energy? A. a stretched rubber band B. wind C. water in a reservoir D. natural gas E. an object su

daser333 [38]

Kinetic energy is energy of motion.

In the cases of a stretched rubber band, water in a reservoir, natural gas, or an object suspended above the ground, everything is just laying there, and nothing is moving. There's nothing there that has kinetic energy.

If there's any wind, then air is moving. The moving air has kinetic energy.

Refrigerant 134a enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2, 200°F, with a velocity of 120 ft/s and exits at 50 lbf/in.2 wit

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x = 0.75801 = 75.801%

T_2 = 72..78 degree F

Explanation:

From superheated R 134 a properties table

At 200 lb/in^2 and 200 degree F

$h_1 = 138.99 Btu/lbm$

steady flow energy equation is givena s

$h_1 + \frac{v_1^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{v_2^2}{2}$

$138.99 + \frac{120^2}{2\times 25037} = h_2 + \frac{1500^2}{2 \times 25037}$

$h_2 = 94.344 Btu/lbm$

At 90 lb/in2 Tsat = 72.78 degree F

$h_f = 35.715 Btu/lbm$

hfg = 77.345 Btu/lbm

h = hf + x hfg

$94.344 = 35.715+ x \times 77.345$

solving for x we get

x = 0.75801 = 75.801%

$T_2 = 72..78 degree F$
