A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Eur

ope and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car’s gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

We will start by defining the units and their respective equivalences between the proposed measurement systems

$1km = 0.6214mi$

$1gallon = 3.788 litres$

PART A ) The mileage of the car is 55mpg (Miles per gallon)

$55mpg = 55(\frac{miles}{gallon}) (\frac{1km}{0.6214miles})(\frac{1gallon}{3.788L})$

$55mpg = 23.4km/L$

Therefore the mileage of the car is 23.4km/L

PART B ) The mileage of the car means that the car travels 23.4km and consumes 1 liter of fuel. Then

$1L = 23.4km$

For the car to travel 1500km the amount of fuel would be,

$1500km= (1500km)(\frac{1L}{23.4km})$

$1500km = 64.1L$

But 1 gas tank can only hold 45Liters of fuel, then the number of tank required would be

$\text{Number of tanks required} = \frac{64.1L}{45L}$

$\text{Number of tanks required} = 1.4tanks$

Thus the number of tanks of gas required to drive 1500km is 1.4

What does a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse have in common

liraira [26]

During either one, the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up in the same straight line. The difference is whether the moon or the Earth is the one in the "middle".

Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box. but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 21.0° wes

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.

The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.

Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:

$\displaystyle -2F\ sin21^o+F\ cos\alpha =0$

The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft

$\displaystyle -2F\ cos21^o+F\ sin\alpha =460$

Solving for $\alpha$ in the first equation

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =\frac{2F\ sin21^o}{F}=2sin21^o$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =0.717=>\alpha =44.214^o$

$\displaystyle F(2cos21^o+sin\alpha)=460$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin\alpha}$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin44.214^o}$

$\displaystyle F=179.37\ N$

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=2*F=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction. q is the charge of the particle. v is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction. B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd. Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

∮B dl=μ0 I

B ∮dl=μ0 I

B 2πr=μ0 I

B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.

A weightlifter presses a 200 N weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 s. What is the power of the weightlifter

icang [17]

Answer:

50 watts

Explanation:

Applying,

Power (P) = Workdone (W)/Time(t)

But,

Work done (W) = Force (F)×distance(d)

Therefore,

P = Fd/t..................... Equation 1

Where P = power of the weightlifter, F = Force applied, d = distance, t = time.

From the question,

Given: F = 200 N, d = 0.5 m, t = 2 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (200×0.5)/2

P = 100/2

P = 50 watts
