What is the primary energy that powers a car

Umnica [9.8K]

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

Explain how a theodolite works.

Oksana_A [137]

The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele

artcher [175]

Answer:

the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J), The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)

Substituting these values into equation 2

v² = 0² +2×1×30

v² = 60

v = √60

v = 7.75 m/s

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1,

W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²

W = (4.0×10³)(60)

W = 240 × 10³ J

W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

What is (a) the wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz?

yulyashka [42]

The wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz will be 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$ and 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m respectively

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

Wavenumber, also called wave number, a unit of frequency, often used in atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy, equal to the true frequency divided by the speed of the wave and thus equal to the number of waves in a unit distance.

wavelength = ?

frequency = 92 m Hz = 92 * $10^{6}$ Hz

speed of light = 3 * $10^{8}$ m/s

speed of light = frequency * wavelength

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

= 3 * $10^{8}$ / 92 * $10^{6}$

= 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

wavenumber = 1 / wavelength

= 1 / 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

= 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$

An electron traverses a vacuum tube with a length of 2 m in 2 X 10- 4

Maslowich

Answer:

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 2m

Time = 0.0002secs

To find the average speed;

Average speed = distance/time

Average speed = 2/0.0002

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the

electron is 10,000 meters per seconds.
