Why the brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle?

Physics
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Frictional force

Explanation:

The brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle because more frictional force is expended in applying the brake on a car than a bicycle.

To brake a car, the concept of friction is usually adopted. Two surfaces that increases friction when they come in contact are used in braking.

Frictional force is a force that resists the motion of a body. This forces helps to have grasp of motion.

A car requires more resistance to motion to break it because it have more more mass and other component motions parameters.

A bicycle is lighter and will require little friction.

Some of the frictional force applied is converted to heat energy. The amount of this energy expended is proportional to the frictional force.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

A motor was overheating because of low voltage at its terminals. A transformer was installed to correct the problem. What is the
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

  240 V

Explanation:

The obvious answer is that if the transformer is connected directly to the motor (with no intervening losses), the output voltage of the transformer must match the required input voltage of the motor, 240 V.

__

We're not given, or asked for any other information, so this is all we can say about the connection. Whether a transformer with a 240 V secondary rating is adequate, we have not enough information to say.
