When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drums and the brake shoes converts the car's kinetic energy t

o thermal energy. If a 1500-kg automobile traveling at 35 m/s comes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0 kg iron brake drums? (The specific heat of iron is 448 J/(kg · °C).)

Answer:

64.1°C

Explanation:

mass of automobile, M = 1500 kg

velocity, v = 35 m/s

mass of each brake, m = 8 kg

specific heat of iron, c = 448 J/kg°C

According to the conservation of energy

the kinetic energy of automobile = thermal energy of brakes

0.5 Mv² = 4 x m x c x ΔT

where, ΔT is the rise in temperature of the brake

0.5 x 1500 x 35 x 35 = 4 x 8 x 448 x ΔT

ΔT = 64.1°C

Thus, the change in temperature of each brake is 64.1°C.

Which object would have the most momentum?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Momentum is the product or multiplication of a body's mass and its speed.

Since all options have the mass and speed in the same units, there is no need for conversion.

A. 20 x 500 = 10000,  B. 200 x 60 = 12000

The same goes for the rest!

Answer:

A)  350 N

B)  58.33 N

C)  35 kg

D)  35 kg

Explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.
