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.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(a). Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). R = 36 ohm

(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.

Explanation:

Given data

I = 2.75 A

Voltage = 150 V

\phi = 0.85 rad = 48.72°

(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by

Z = \frac{V}{I}

Z = \frac{150}{2.75}

Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2}\phi } }

Put the values of Z & \phi in above formula we get

R = \frac{54.54}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} ( \ 48.72) } }

R = 36 ohm

(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?
svetoff [14.1K]
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.
