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

A piston in an internal combustion engine applies torque during 150° of each full rotation of the crankshaft to which it is conn
aalyn [17]

Answer:

T=1.566 N.m

Explanation:

Given that:

rotational speed of the scrank shaft, N = 2500 rpm

power produced by one cylinder, P = 410 W

We know, in case of rotational power:

P=\frac{2\pi.N.T}{60}

where: T= torque

Substituting the respective values in the above eq.

410=\frac{2\pi\times2500\times T}{60}

T= \frac{410\times60}{2\pi\times2500}

T=1.566 N.m is the torque applied by the each piston of the engine.

A cylinder of compressed gas has a pressure of 488.2 kPa. The next day the cylinder of gas has a
Luda [366]

Answer:

20 °C

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Rearranging:

P / T = nR / V

Since n, R, and V are constant:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

488.2 kPa / T = 468 kPa / 281.15 K

T = 293.29 K

T = 20.1 °C

Rounded, the temperature was 20 °C.

The lasers are red, meaning that they are giving off light in the _____ region of the electromagnetic spectrum
Softa [21]

As per the question the color of laser light is given as red.

If we arrange all the electromagnetic waves in the decreasing order of frequency ,then the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma ray as the first which is followed by all other electromagnetic waves according to their frequency.

The visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm which contains sunlight i.e white colors with it's constituent colors starting from violet to red. The red color is the longest wavelength part of the visible region.

The wavelength of visible light is longer than ultraviolet wave but smaller than infrared radiation. Except the bisible region,the color of radiation is invisible to eye.


As per the question the color of emiited laser radiation is red .Hence it must lie in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
