The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou

r (mph). At full power, the car can accelerate from zero to 28.0 mph in time 1.40 s.
The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hour (mph). At full power, the car can accelerate from zero to 28.0mph in time 1.40s .
Part A. At full power, how long would it take for the car to accelerate from 0 to 57.0mph ? Neglect friction and air resistance. THE ANSWER IS "6 seconds" according the mastering physics..
Part B. A more realistic car would cause the wheels to spin in a manner that would result in the ground pushing it forward with a constant force (in contrast to the constant power in Part A). If such a sports car went from zero to 28.0mph in time 1.40s , how long would it take to go from zero to 57.0mph ?

A) Time needed: 6.24 s

B) Time needed: 2.86 s

Explanation:

A)

In this part, we are told that the power if the engine is constant. The power of the engine is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time

This means that the power of the engine is proportional to the work done, and therefore, to the kinetic energy of the car:

P=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}=const.

where m is the mass of the car and v its velocity.

SInce power is constant, we can write:

\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{t_1^2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2}{t_2}

where:

t_1=1.40 s is the time the car needs to accelerates to v_1=28.0 mph

t_2 is the time the car needs to accelerate to v_2=57.0 mph

Therefore, solving for t_2,

t_2 = \frac{v^2}{u^2}t_1=\frac{57^2}{28^2}(1.40)=6.24 s

B)

First of all, we have to calculate the acceleration of the car. We can do it using the following equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where:

u = 0 is the initial velocity

v=28.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=12.5 m/s is the final velocity

t = 1.40 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{12.5-0}{1.40}=8.9 m/s^2

In this part, we are told that the force exerted by the engine is constant: according to Newton's second law, acceleration is proportional to the force,

F=ma

This means that the acceleration is also constant.

Now we want to find how long the car takes to accelerate to a final velocity of

v=57.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=25.5 m/s

From an initial velocity of

u = 0

Using again the same suvat equation, and using the acceleration we found previously, we find:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{25.5-0}{8.9}=2.87 s

solmaris [256]

Answer:

2.33651226158 m

Explanation:

From the question the required data is as follows

f = Frequency of the initial note = 146.8 Hz

v = Velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{343}{146.8}

\Rightarrow \lambda=2.33651226158\ m

The wavelength of the initial note is 2.33651226158 m

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 15-m-radius circular rise. The passenger in the roller coaster has a true weight
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

The equation for apparent weight in the situation of weightlessness is given as:

Apparent Weight = m(g - a)

where,

Apparent Weight = 360 N

m = mass passenger = 61.2 kg

a = acceleration of roller coaster

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

360 N = (61.2 kg)(9.8 m/s² - a)

9.8 m/s² - a = 360 N/61.2 kg

a = 9.8 m/s² - 5.88 m/s²

a = 3.92 m/s²

Since, this acceleration is due to the change in direction of velocity on a circular path. Therefore, it can b represented by centripetal acceleration and its formula is given as:

a = v²/r

where,

a = centripetal acceleration = 3.92 m/s²

v = speed of roller coaster = ?

r = radius of circular rise = 15 m

Therefore,

3.92 m/s² = v²/15 m

v² = (3.92 m.s²)(15 m)

v = √(58.8 m²/s²)

<u>v = 7.67 m/s</u>

Fittoniya [83]
Impulse in physics is the integral of force, F, with respect with time, t. This value is a vector quantity since force is a vector quantity as well. It can be calculated from the product of force and time. We do as follows:

Impulse = Ft
               = m(a)(t)
               = m(v/t)t
               = 0.046 (42/0.0005) (0.0005)
               = 1.932 N-s

We run a distance of 1000 m at a speed of 4.3 m/s. Calculate the time elapsed to cover this distance
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

So if we need to cover 1000 meters. And we go at a speed of 4.3 m/s. That means that every 4.3 meters we cover is 1 second. So we divide both amd get

1000/4.3 = 232.56 is approx the answer. Also the meters cancel out because

m/(m/s) = m*s/m, cancels out giving s as a unit.

<h2><u>Therefore the answer is 232.56 seconds</u></h2>

Let A^=6i^+4j^_2k^ and B= 2i^_2j^+3k^. find the sum and difference of A and B​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Let \textbf{A} = 6\hat{\textbf{i}} + 4\hat{\textbf{j}} - 2\hat{\textbf{k}} and \textbf{B} = 2\hat{\textbf{i}} - 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3\hat{\textbf{k}}

The sum of the two vectors is

\textbf{A + B} = (6 + 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - 2)\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 + 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 8\hat{\textbf{i}} + 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + \hat{\textbf{k}}

The difference between the two vectors can be written as

\textbf{A - B} = (6 - 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - (-2))\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 - 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 4\hat{\textbf{i}} + 6\hat{\textbf{j}} - 5\hat{\textbf{k}}
