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.

What velocity must a 1210 kg car have in order to have the same momentum as a pickup truck
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 46.5 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass(m) × velocity (v)

momentum of car = momentum of truck

1210 × v = 2250 × 25

v = 46.5 m/s

If two objects have the same mass, what determines the strength of the gravitational force between them? (4 points) Select one:
Evgen [1.6K]

According to this equation

F = G × m₁*m₂ ÷ r²

other than the mass, the distance also affects the gravitational force between two objects (same mass or not).

Therefore the correct answer is B. The distance between the objects

Future note* use formulas to help you figure these sort of questions out. (if they have a formula to begin with).

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J
