Answer:

d. 3332.5 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Here we have two forces, the force that pushes the car to move forward and the friction force.

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

f = N * μ

f = (m*g) * μ

where:

N = weight of the car = 2150*9.81 = 21091.5 [N]

μ = 0.25

f = (21091.5) * 0.25

f = 5273 [N]

Now as the car is moving forward, the car wheels move clockwise. The friction force between the wheels of the car and the pavement must be counterclockwise, i.e. counterclockwise. Therefore the direction of this force is forward. This way we have:

F + f = m*a

F + 5273 = 2150*4

F = 8600 - 5273

F = 3327 [N]

Therefore the answer is d.

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use​
Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t  where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt
