In 1949, an automobile manufacturing company introduced a sports car (the "Model A") which could accelerate from 0 to speed v in

a time interval of Δt. In order to boost sales, a year later they introduced a more powerful engine (the "Model B") which could accelerate the car from 0 to speed 2.92v in the same time interval. Introducing the new engine did not change the mass of the car. Compare the power of the two cars, if we assume all the energy coming from the engine appears as kinetic energy of the car.

Answer: \frac{P_B}{P_A} = 8.5264

Explanation: Power is the rate of energy transferred per unit of time: P = \frac{E}{t}

The energy from the engine is converted into kinetic energy, which is calculated as: KE = \frac{1}{2}.m.v^{2}

To compare the power of the two cars, first find the Kinetic Energy each one has:

<u>K.E. for Model A</u>

KE_A = \frac{1}{2}.m.v^{2}

<u>K.E. for model B</u>

KE_B = \frac{1}{2}.m.(2.92v)^{2}

KE_B = \frac{1}{2}.m.8.5264v^{2}

Now, determine Power for each model:

<u>Power for model A</u>

P_{A} = \frac{m.v^{2} }{2.t}

<u>Power for model B</u>

P_B = \frac{m.8.5264.v^{2} }{2.t}

Comparing power of model B to power of model A:

\frac{P_B}{P_A} = \frac{m.8.5264.v^{2} }{2.t}.\frac{2.t}{m.v^{2} }

\frac{P_B}{P_A} = 8.5264

Comparing power for each model, power for model B is 8.5264 better than model A.

The equation used to predict the theoretical period Ty of a simple pendulum assumes a small amplitude of oscillation. A student
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice E".

Explanation:

In this situation the option e is right because its resistance decreases through time, however, the time is the same for the same reason, whereas the sphere deteriorates, somehow it travels shorter distances however if the air resistance becomes are using the amplitude of movement declines, that's why other choices were wrong.

What is the average acceleration of the particle between 0 seconds and 4 seconds? A. 0 meters/second2 B. 0.04 meters/second2 C.
lisov135 [29]

Answer

D. 0.25 meters/second2

Explanation

The average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time of travel.Taking in this case that the change of velocity is a unit, then Average acceleration is given by;

Aacc=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti

where Vf=final velocity,Vi=initial velocity' Tf=final time, Ti=initial time

Vf-Vi=1m/s

Tf-Ti=4-0=4seconds

Avacc=1/4=0.25m/s2
