The average power is 3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the work done to accelerate the car; according to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:

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

where :

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the final kinetic energy of the car, with

m = 2000 kg is the mass of the car

v = 60 m/s is the final speed of the car

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with

u = 30 m/s is initial speed of the car

Soolving:

W=\frac{1}{2}(2000)(60)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2000)(30)^2=2.7\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can find the power required for the acceleration, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

t = 9 s is the time elapsed

Solving:

P=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^6}{9}=3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Work \ done = 4 \ J}

Given:

Force = 8 N

Distance covered by the body = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Explanation:

Work Done = Force × Distance covered by the body

= 8 × 0.5

= 4 J

Chapter 36, Problem 007 Light of wavelength 586 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum
svp [43]

Answer:

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

given

wavelength of light  λ = 479 nm

                                   = 479 x 10⁻⁹ m

the angle

θ = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575°                

using                                              

condition for diffraction minimum ,

         d sinθ = m λ                        

for first minimum m = 1

       d sinθ = λ                      

therefore ,

slit width                                  

d =\dfrac{\lambda}{sin\theta}          

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{sin 0.575^0}

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{0.01}              

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m                                                    

hence, the width of the slit is equal to d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of _______
mina [271]

Answer:

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of fluid particles.

Explanation:

Transfer of heat energy by the movement of fluid particles is called convection. Convection takes place in liquids and gases due to kinetic energy. When heat is provided to liquids and gases they expand and move faster.

Molecules with higher kinetic energy become less dense and rise up to the surface of liquid, whereas molecules with lower energy move towards the bottom. This up and down movement of molecules causes convection currents in fluids.
