Answer: Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor move.

( Chemical to Mechanical )

Explanation:

during combustion of the diesel ( when the fuel is burnt in the engine of the vehicle, the diesel ( chemical energy ) is transformed or converted to Mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is what the truck uses in moving. Without the combustion of the fuel the vehicle won’t move and the combustion of diesel is achieved through compression unlike that of fuel.

A 6 m/s vector pointing North is added to a 2 m/s vector pointing East. What are the magnitude and direction of the resultant?
irina [24]

Answer:

A + B = C      Ax = 2   Ay = 0    Bx = 0  By = 6

Ax + Bx = Cx = 2

Ay + By = Cy = 6

C = (2^2 + 6^2)^1/2 = 6.32

Tan Cy / Cx = 6 / 2 = 3

Cy at 71.6 deg

A wrecking ball is hanging at rest from a crane when suddenly the cable breaks. The time it takes for the ball to fall halfway t
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1.697s

Explanation:

We use the second equation of free fall under gravity as follows;

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2...............(1)

Since  the ball fell freely, u = 0m/s, therefore equation (1) reduces to

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2...............(2)

Given that h is the total height the ball falls through in time t seconds.

However, according to the stated problem the ball falls halfway in 1.2s, this simply implies that the ball falls through a distance of \frac{h}{2} in 1.2s. Hence we can write the following, given that g=9.8m/s^2;

\frac{h}{2}=\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.2^2\\hence\\h=9.8*1.2^2\\h=14.112m

We can now proceed to find the time t for which it falls through h = 14.112m as follows;

14.112=\frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2\\14.112=4.9t^2\\t^2=\frac{14.112}{4.9}\\t^2=2.88\\t=\sqrt{2.88} \\t=1.697s
