Increase the Force provided by the Engine.

Decrease the Mass of the Car.

Increase the top velocity the Car can travel.

Explanation:

A design targeted at increasing the engine force, decreasing the mass of the car and increasing the top velocity will increase the acceleration of the car.

From newton's second law, we know that force is the product of mass and acceleration.

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration = $\frac{force }{mass}$

Acceleration is the change in the velocity of a body with time.

We see that acceleration is directly related to force. As the force of the engine increases, its acceleration increases.
But acceleration is inversely related to mass. The more the mass of the car, the lesser the acceleration. The car should be made lighter.
The top velocity is the maximum velocity the car can go.
The higher the top level velocity, the more the acceleration a car can have.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.620 m/s in 21ms. The total mass of the train is 825 g.

Rudiy27

Explanation:

Average power = change in energy / change in time

P = ΔE / Δt

P = (½ mv²) / t

P = (½ (0.825 kg) (0.620 m/s)²) / (0.021 s)

P = 7.55 Watts

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous

Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

$v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}$

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m$

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

A 100 N force is applied to a 50 kg crate resting on a level floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15. What is the acc

Nookie1986 [14]

The acceleration of the crate after it begins to move is 0.5 m/s²

We'll begin by calculating the the frictional force

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.15

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (N) = mg = 50 × 10 = 500 N

<h3>Frictional force (Fբ) =?</h3>

Fբ = μN

Fբ = 0.15 × 500

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the crate

Frictional force (Fբ) = 75 N

Force (F) = 100 N

<h3>Net force (Fₙ) =?</h3>

Fₙ = F – Fբ

Fₙ = 100 – 75

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the crate

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 25 N

<h3>Acceleration (a) =?</h3>

a = Fₙ / m

a = 25 / 50

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 0.5 m/s²

In what order does light pass through structures of the eye? lens, cornea, retina cornea, pupil, lens pupil, iris, lens pupil, c

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

Explanation:

When light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer covering of the eye), you can then see that object. The cornea bends, or refracts, the rays that pass through the round hole of the pupil.
