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.

Rank in order, from smallest to largest, the six torques (torque 1 to torque 2) about the hinge.?
anzhelika [568]
The solution for this problem is:torque1 = torque2 = FL / 2 
Torque 3 = Torque 4 = FL / 2 * sin (theta) 
Torque 5 = 2 FL 
Torque 6 = 0 

So the order of the torques from smallest to largest is torque 6, (torque 3 and 4), (torque 1 and 2), torque 5.


Remember or just take note that sin (theta) < 1 is why 3 and 4 are less than 1 and 2.

A 250 kg car has 6875 kg•m/s of momentum. What is it’s velocity?
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = 27.5 m/s

Explanation:

p = m × v

6,875 = 250 × v

250v = 6,875

v = 6,875/250

v = 27.5 m/s

An object has a mass of 785 g and a volume of 15 cm³. What is its density? (Give your answer in g/cm³ to 2 decimal places).
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

denisity = 52.33 g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density:

d = \frac{m}{v}

We have that m = 785 and that v = 15 cm^{3}.

d = \frac{785}{15}

d = 52.33 m^{3}
