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 object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

M=-\frac{q}{p}

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0

A particle traveling in a circular path of radius 300 m has an instantaneous velocity of 30 m/s and its velocity is increasing a
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

5 m/s2

Explanation:

The total acceleration of the circular motion is made of 2 components: centripetal acceleration and linear acceleration of 4 m/s2. They are perpendicular to each other.

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of instant velocity squared and the radius of the circle

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{30^2}{300} = \frac{900}{300} = 3 m/s^2

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_l^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 m/s^2
