Answer:

When he weight of the car is 8.55 x $10^{3}$ N then power = 314.012 KW

When he weight of the car is 1.10 x $10^{4}$ N then power = 43.76 KW

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity $V_{1}$ = 0

Final velocity $V_{2}$ = 24.8 $\frac{m}{s}$

Time = 7.88 sec

We know that power required to accelerate the car is given by

P = $\frac{change \ in \ kinetic \ energy}{time}$

Change in kinetic energy Δ K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m (V_{2}^{2} - V_{1}^{2} )$

Since Initial velocity $V_{1}$ = 0

⇒ Δ K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m V_{2} ^{2}$

⇒ Power P = $\frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{t} V_{2} ^{2}$

⇒ Power P = $\frac{1}{2} \frac{W}{g\ t} V_{2} ^{2}$ -------- (1)

(a). The weight of the car is 8.55 x $10^{3}$ N = 8550 N

Put all the values in above formula

So power P = $\frac{1}{2} \frac{8550}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}$

P = 314.012 KW

(b). The weight of the car is 1.10 x $10^{4}$ N = 11000 N

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

P = $\frac{1}{2} \frac{11000}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}$

P = 43.76 KW

At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q.What is the magnitude and direction

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

magnitude of force on charge 2Q = $\frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }$

Direction of force on charge = 61 ⁰

Explanation:

The magnitude on the force on the charge can be evaluated by finding the net force acting on the charge 2Q i.e x-component of the net force and the y-component of the net force

║F║ = $\sqrt{f_{x}^{2} + f_{y}^{2} }$ = after considering the forces coming from Q, 3Q and 4Q AND APPLYING COULOMBS LAW

magnitude of force acting on 2Q = $\frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }$

The direction of the force on charge 2Q is calculated as

tan ∅ = $\frac{f_{y} }{f_{x} }$ = 1.8284

therefore ∅ = $tan^{-1}$ 1.8284

= 61⁰

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

. Which of the following is the best description about cancer cells?

frozen [14]

Cancer cells are cells that divide relentlessly, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood with abnormal cells. Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair.

Can someone please help me with these physics problems? I just don’t even know where to start.

KIM [24]

#1

for the block of mass 5 kg normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

friction force is given as

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$F_f = 0.1*49 = 4.9 N$

Net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 5*2 = 10 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$10 = F_{app} - 4.9$

$F_{app} = 14.9 N$

#2

Normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 6*9.8$

$F_n = 58.8 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$F_{net} = 0$

as object moves with constant velocity

$F_{app} = F_f = 15 N$

now for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$15 = \mu * 58.8$

$\mu = 0.255$

#3

net force upwards is given as

$F = 1.2 * 10^{-4} N$

mass is given as

$m = 7 * 10^{-5} kg$

now as per newton's law we can say

$F = ma$

$1.2 * 10^{-4} = 7 * 10^{-5} * a$

$a = 1.71 m/s^2$

#4

As we know that when block is sliding on rough surface

part a)

net force = applied force - frictional force

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$ma = F_{app} - F_f$

$5*6 = 40 - F_{f}$

$F_f = 40 - 30 = 10 N$

part b)

for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$10 = \mu * F_n$

here normal force is given as

$F_n = mg = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

now we have

$\mu = \frac{10}{49} = 0.204$

#5

if an object is initially at rest and moves 20 m in 5 s

so we can use kinematics to find out the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)$

$a = 1.6 m/s^2$

now net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 10*1.6 = 16 N$

#6

an object travelling with speed 25 m/s comes to stop in 1.5 s

so here acceleration of object is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{0 - 25}{1.5} = -16.67 m/s^2$

now the force is gievn as

$F = ma$

$F = 5*16.67 = 83.3 N$
