Answer:

192000 J or 192 kJ

Explanation:

Work done = Force × distance moved along the direction of force.

From the question,

W = F×d............... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the car, F = Force of the car, d = distance move by the car along the direction of the force.

We can calculate for d using the equation of motion

d = (v+u)t/2..................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity of the car, u = Initial velocity of the car, t = time.

Given: u = 12 m/s, v = 0 m/s(skids to a stop), t = 4.0 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = (12+0)4/2

d = 24 m.

Also given: F = 8000 N

Substitute into equation 1

W = 8000×24

W = 192000 J

W = 192 kJ.

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

Firlakuza [10]
Im going to tell you what to do but not the result. So pay close attention: the first thing you need to do is convert miles/h to m/s. Then for the part a) <span>divide the final velocity by the initial velocity. That will give you the amount of it will take to accelerate to the final velocity.Now for the part b you </span>use the formula v=vo+at. I hope this can help you
