An older-model car accelerates from 0 to speed v in 9.0 s. A newer, more powerful sports car of the same mass accelerates from 0

to 3v in the same time period. Assuming the energy coming from the engine appears only as kinetic energy of the cars, compare the power of the two cars. (Take Pnew and Pold as the powers of the new car and old car, respectively.)

Answer:The new car has 9 times the power of the old car

Explanation:

Given data

old car

Mass =m

Velocity =v

Time to attain the velocity t= 9secs

New car

Mass =m (same as old car)

Velocity =3v

Time to attain the velocity t= 9secs

We know that the kinetic energy expression is given as

KE=1/2mv²

KE for old car =1/2mv²J

KE for new car =1/2m(3v)²

=1/2m9v²J

Now the expression for power is

P= energy *time

Pold = 1/2mv²*9

4.5(mv²)Hp

Pnew = 1/2m*9v²*9

1/2m*81*v²

40.5(m*v²)Hp

Now comparing the powers of both cars

Pnew/Pold =40.5mv²/4.5mv²

Pnew/Pold = 9

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.
Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

  • Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
  • Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
  • Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.  

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

A boat, whose speed in still water is 8.0 m/s, crosses a river with a current of 6.0 m/s. If the boat heads perpendicular to the
kirill [66]

Answer: D

Rs = 10.0 m/s

The speed of the boat relative to an observer standing on the shore as it crosses the river is 10.0m/s

Explanation:

Since the boat is moving perpendicular to the current of the river, the speed of the boat has two components.

i. 8.0m/s in the direction perpendicular to the current

ii. 6.0m/s in the direction of the current.

So, the resultant speed can be derived by using the equation;

Rs = √(Rx^2 + Ry^2)

Taking

Ry = 8.0m/s

Rx = 6.0m/s

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Rs = √(6.0^2 + 8.0^2)

Rs = √(36+64) = √100

Rs = 10.0 m/s

The speed of the boat relative to an observer standing on the shore as it crosses the river is 10.0m/s

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15
dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}

Inserting the values

0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}

i = 37.725 A

How does a compound eye work?
Reil [10]
<span>The Compound Eye. The arthropod (e.g., insects, crustaceans) eye is built quite differently from the vertebrate eye (and the mollusk eye). Arthropod eyes are called compound eyes because they are made up of repeating units, the ommatidia, each of which functions as a separate visual receptor.</span>
