Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi

stance. But driving slowly in dry sand is another story. If a 1200 kg car is driven in sand at 5.2 m/s, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.06. In this case, nearly all of the energy that the car uses to move goes to overcoming rolling friction, so you can ignore air drag in this problem.
a. What propulsion force is needed to keep the car moving forward at a constant speed?

b. What power is required for propulsion at 5.2 m/s?
If the car gets 15 mpg when driving on sand, what is the car's efficiency? Assume the density of gasoline is 719.7 kg/m^3.

A) Agreed. 
<span>b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). </span>

<span>c) Here's one method... </span>

<span>15 miles = 24140 m </span>

<span>1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. </span>

<span>So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J </span>

<span>Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J </span>

<span>Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J </span>

<span>So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. </span>

<span>Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied </span>
<span>= 1000/5800 </span>
<span>= 0.17 (=17%) </span>

Explanation:

1.

We use the equation

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}, where

h is the height traveled,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

t is the time taken to reach height h.

We can now calculate t to be

\sqrt{\frac{2*1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2} }

= 0.495 s

Let v be the initial velocity of the player.

The player deaccelarates from v m/s to 0 m/s in 0.495 s at the rate of 9.81 m/s^2.

v = 9.81 m/s^2 x 0.495 s = 4.85 m/s

2.

The player takes 0.3 s to increase his velocity from 0 m/s to 4.85 m/s. So his average accelaration is

4.85 m/s / 0.3 s = 16.2 m/s^2

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.

According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave lengt
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:1.55 times

Explanation:

Given

First wavelength(\lambda _1)=450 nm

Second wavelength(\lambda _2)=700 nm

According wien's diplacement law

\lambda T=constant

where \lambda =wavelength

T=Temperature

Let T_1 and T_2 be the temperatures corresponding to \lambda _1 & \lambda _2 respectively.

\lambda _1\times T_1=\lambda _2\times T_2

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{\lambda _2}{\lambda _1}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{700}{450}=1.55

Thus object with \lambda 450 nm is 1.55 times hotter than object with wavelength \lambda =700 nm
