The force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Explanation:

The force required to stop the car should have equal magnitude as the force required to move the car but in opposite direction. This is in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion. Since, in the present problem, we know the kinetic energy and velocity of the moving car, we can determine the mass of the car from these two parameters.

So, here v = 30 m/s and k.E. = 3.6 × 10⁵ J, then mass will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}  \\\\m = \frac{2*KE}{v^{2} } = \frac{2*3.6*10^{5} }{30*30}=800 kg

Now, we know that the work done by the brake to stop the car will be equal to the product of force to stop the car with the distance travelled by the car on applying the brake.Here it is said that the car travels 95 m after the brake has been applied. So with the help of work energy theorem,

Work done = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Work done = Force × Displacement

So, Force × Displacement = Final kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy.

Force * 95 = 0-3.6*10^{5}\\ \\Force =\frac{-3.6*10^{5} }{95}=-3.79 N

Thus, the force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

A driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch, and then resumes driving for the next 2.0 h through a di
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
<h2>82.353 km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

       The driver travels 135 km towards East in 1.5 hr. He stops for 45 min. He again travels 215 km towards East in 2.0 hr.

       The total displacement of the driver in the given time is ths sum of individual displacements, because all the displacements are in the same directon.

       Total displacement = 135\text{ }km\text{ }East\text{ }+\text{ }0\text{ }km\text{ }+\text{ }215\text{ }km\text{ }East\text{ }=\text{ }350\text{ }km\text{ }East

       Total time travelled = 1.5\text{ }hr\text{ }+\text{ }45\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }2.0\text{ }hr\text{ }=\text{ }90\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }45\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }120\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }255\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }hr\text{ }15\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }4.25\text{ }hr

      \text{Average velocity = }\dfrac{\text{Total displacement}}{\text{Total time taken}}=\dfrac{350\text{ }km}{4.25\text{ }hr}=82.353\text{ }\frac{km}{hr}

∴ Driver's average velocity = 82.353\text{ }\frac{km}{hr}

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

42.0×10² second²

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.

No. You cannot rule out the battery even after the open circuit voltage measurement. The open-circuit voltage may not have changed but the battery's internal resistance may have greatly increased.
