Answer:

B. the force of friction of the road on the tires

Explanation:

Unless the car engine is like jet engine, the main force that accelerates the car forward is the force of friction of the road on the tires, which is ultimately driven by the force of engine on the tires shaft. As the engine, and the shaft are part of the system, their interaction is internal. According to Newton laws of motion, the acceleration needs external force, in this case it's the friction of the road on the tires.

A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

now from equation (3)

a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x

k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}

k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degre
katen-ka-za [31]
To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T], 
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have 
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6 
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.
