Answer:

Work done on the car will be 548440.9463 J

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 1075 kg

As the car finally stops so final velocity of the car $v_f=0m/sec$

Initial velocity of car u = 115 km/hr $=115\times \frac{5}{18}=31.943m/sec$

Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy

So work done $=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

= $=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)=\frac{1}{2}\times 1075\times (0^2-31.943^2)=-548440.946J$

As the work done is negative so work is done on the car to stop it .

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?

snow_tiger [21]

1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.

Three charges lie along the x axis. The positive charge q1 = 15 μC is at x= 2.0 m and the positive charge q2 = 6.0μC is at the o

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 0.775m

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

In the attached figure we see the locations of the charges. We place the charge q₃ at a distance x from the origin. The forces F₂₃ and F₁₃ are attractive forces because the charges have an opposite sign, and these forces must be equal so that the net force on the charge q₃ is zero.

We apply Coulomb's law to calculate the electrical forces on q₃:

$F_{23} = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2}$ (Electric force of q₂ over q₃)

$F_{13} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2}$ (Electric force of q₁ over q₃)

Known data

q₁ = 15 μC = 15*10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = 6 μC = 6*10⁻⁶ C

Problem development

F₂₃ = F₁₃

$\frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2}$ (We cancel k and q₃)

$\frac{q_2}{x^2}=\frac{q_1}{(2-x)^2}$

q₂(2-x)² = q₁x²

6×10⁻⁶(2-x)² = 15×10⁻⁶(x)² (We cancel 10⁻⁶)

6(2-x)² = 15(x)²

6(4-4x+x²) = 15x²

24 - 24x + 6x² = 15x²

9x² + 24x - 24 = 0

The solution of the quadratic equation is:

x₁ = 0.775m

x₂ = -3.44m

x₁ meets the conditions for the forces to cancel in q₃

x₂ does not meet the conditions because the forces would remain in the same direction and would not cancel

The negative charge q₃ must be placed on x = 0.775 so that the net force is equal to zero.

At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak

Klio2033 [76]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

$P = AI$

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

$I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}$

Here,

$I_1$ = Intensity at distance 1

$I_2$ = Intensity at distance 2

$r_1$ = Distance 1 from light source

$r_2$ = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})$

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

$I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})$

$I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2$

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

$A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}$

$A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2$

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

$P = AI$

$P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)$

$P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s$

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

$E = 6.1*10^{-9}J$
