A 1200 kg vehicle initially travelling at 50. km/h experiences an air resistance of 5000 N and road friction of 2200 N. The whee

The forces on the car are:
-- 7,500 N forward, from the engine
-- 5,000 N backwards, from air resistance
-- 2,200 N backwards, from road friction

The net force on the car is (+7,500 - 5,000 - 2,200) = 300 N forward .

Newton said: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by (mass) :
Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

Acceleration = (300 N) / (1,200 kg) = <u>0.25 m/s² forward</u>.

Notice the big red herring at the beginning of the question:
It's nice to know that the vehicle starts out traveling at 50 km/hr,
but in order to answer this question, we honestly don't care !

Answer:

255.61 m

Explanation:

Use s=ut +\frac{1}{2} at^{2} in downwards direction from the moment of flight till the car hits the bottom.

As the car fly off the cliff the velocity of the car in vertical direction will be zero.

h =\frac{1}{2} 10(7.15)^{2}

h=255.61 m

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What is the new vol
Setler79 [48]


The correct answer is C.

We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. 

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Where

 P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi

V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch

P2 is final pressure = 10 psi

V2 is final volume = unknown

V2 = P1,V1 / P2

V2 = 20 × 5 / 10

V2 = 100/10

V2 = 10 cubic inches
