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.

RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A bowling ball is far from uniform. Lightweight bowling balls are made of a relatively low-density core surrounded by a thin she
tester [92]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,75 10-² kg m²  and b)  I = 1.49 10⁻² kg m²

Explanation:

The expression for the moment of inertia is

    I = ∫ r² dm

The moment of inertia is a scalar by which an additive magnitude, we can add the moments of inertia of each part of the system, taking into account the axis of rotation.

    I = I core + I shell

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere is

    I sphere = 2/5 MR²

The moment of inertia of a thin spherical shell is

    I shell = 2/3 M R²

a) Let's apply to our system, first to the core of weight 1.6 kg and diameter 0.196m, the radius is half the diameter

     R = d / 2

     R= 0.196 m / 2 = 0.098 m

     I core = 2/5 1.6 0.098²

     I core = 6.147 10-3 kg m²

Let's calculate the moment of inertia of the shell of mass 1.6 kg with a diameter of 0.206 m

    R = 0.206 / 2

    R = 0.103 m

    I shell = 2/3 1.6 0.103²

    I shell = 1,132 10-2 kg m²

The moment of inertia of the ball is the sum of these moments of inertia,

    I = I core + I shell

    I = 6,147 10⁻³ + 1,132 10⁻² = 6,147 10⁻³ + 11.32 10⁻³

    I = 17.47 10⁻³ kg m²

    I = 1,747 10-² kg m²

b) Now the ball is report with mass 3.2kg and diameter 0.216 m

    R = 0.216 / 2

    R = 0.108 m

It is a uniform sphere

    I = 2/5 M R²

    I = 2/5 3.2 0.108²

    I = 1.49 10⁻² kg m²
