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.

an aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 180 km/hr drops a food packet while flying at a height of 490m . the horizontal
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The time the package travels horizontally is equal to the time it takes to hit the ground. This can be calculated using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u is 0
480 = 4.9t²
t = 9.90 seconds

Horizontal distance = horizontal speed x time
The speed will be converted to m/s from km/h
= 180 km/hr x 1000m/km x 1hr/3600 seconds x 9.90 seconds
= 495 m

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits 600 km above Earth's surface. Earth's radius is about 6370 km. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to
musickatia [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept given by Pythagoras in the description of the lengths of the legs of a rectangular triangle and if equality against the square of the hypotenuse, that is

a^2+b^2=c^2

Here,

a, b = Legs of a triangle

c = Hypotenuse

According to the attached chart then we would have to

a=x\\b = 6370km\\c = 600+6370km = 6970km

Substituting the given the lengths into the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2 = c^2 \\x^2 +(6370)^2 = (6970)^2\\x = 2829.13km \approx 2830km

Therefore the distance x is 2830km.
