a) The work done by the tree is -1.44\cdot 10^5 J

b) The amount of force applied is 2880 N

Explanation:

a)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Therefore, we can write:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

W is the work done on the car

m is the mass of the car

u is its initial speed

v is its final speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 2000 kg

u = 12.0 m/s

v = 0 (since the car comes to a stop, after the crash)

Therefore, the work done by the tree on the car is:

W=0-\frac{1}{2}(2000)(12.0)^2=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J

The work is negative because it is done in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the car.

b)

The work done by the tree on the car can also be rewritten as

W=Fd

where

F is the force applied on the car

d is the displacement of the car during the collision

In this situation, we have:

W=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J is the work done

d=50.0 cm = 0.50 m is the displacement of the car during the collision

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted by the tree on the car:

F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{-1.44\cdot 10^5 J}{0.50}=-2880 N

Where the negative sign means the force is applied opposite to the direction of motion of the car. Therefore, the magnitude of the force applied is 2880 N.

On a cold day, a heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air at 14°F (−10°C) and transfers it into a home at a temperature of 86
Leto [7]

Answer:

6.575

Explanation:

T1 = 30C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

T2 = - 10 C = - 10 + 273 = 263 K

The coefficient of performance of heat pump

k = T2 / (T1 - T2)

k = 263 / (303 - 263) = 6.575

What charges must the particles have to create the electric field shown
Leviafan [203]

<u>Correct Option:</u>

X shows positive while Y shows negative charges, create the electric field as shown.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The idea of an electric field provides a way to define how starlight travels to enter our eyes across huge distances of empty space.The electric field is a quantity of vectors that is present at any point in space. The electric field at a region shows the force that, if put at that position, will operate upon a positive charge device.

The direction of the electric field points directly at a positive point charge, and straight at a negative point charge. The field direction is implemented to the force direction exert on a positive test charge. It is externally from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
