A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400-m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.5 m/s² is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s²

, the Honda gets a 1.0 s head start. Who wins, and by how much time?

Answer: The Porsche Wins. Arrives 19secs earlier before the Honda.

Explanation: The head start of 1secs corresponded with the difference in acceleration {3.5m/s² - 3m/s²}=0.5m/s²

Using the first equation of motion we obtain the velocity which correspond to this acceleration (0.5m/s²) and time of 1secs where initial velocity u = 0

V = u + at

V= 0 + at

V = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5m/s

Now let find the velocity of each of the car.

If V. a

0.5m/s 0.5m/s²

........m/s. 3.5m/s²

Velocity of porche Vp

= (3.5/0.5) * 0.5 = 3.5 m/s

Also if. V. a

0.5m/s. 0.5m/s²

.....m/s. 3 m/s²

Velocity of Honda Vh

= {3/0.5} * 0.5 = 3m/s

So let's find the time t taken by both cars to cover the distance of 400m

Recall,

Velocity = distance/time

Time t = distance/velocity

For Porche, t = 400/3.5 =114.29secs

For Honda, t = 400/3 = 133.33secs

Looking critically, we noticed that Porche car took shorter time.

The difference In time is

= (133.33 - 114.29)secs = 19.04secs

There are four laws of thermodynamics.

Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics: Two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium to each other.

First Law of Thermodynamics: The change in a system's internal energy is equal to the difference between heat added to the system from its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings.

Second Law of Thermodynamics: It is impossible for a process to have as its sole result the transfer of heat from a cooler body to a hotter one.

Third Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly equal to zero.

A ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its total energy?.
diamong [38]

The total energy of a ball stays constant as it is thrown upward because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the velocity is zero. Therefore, only potential energy exists rather than kinetic energy.

The thrower's movement imparts kinetic energy to a ball thrown vertically. The maximum height that can be achieved after leaving the hand will depend on the actual velocity. Air resistance causes some of this energy to be lost to the air as frictional dissipation, which warms the air in the area as well as the ball's surface.

We can just talk about how the ball moves when it is in the gravitational field of the Earth if we ignore this for the purposes of this discussion. The ball's total energy as it is released is comprised of both its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy, which result from the ball's velocity (due to its position).

The gravitational potential energy begins to rise as the ball moves vertically upward at precisely the same pace as it loses kinetic energy. The ball experiences a steady downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, which causes it to initially decline until it briefly comes to a stop at its highest point.

Due to its current position in the Earth's gravitational field relative to its initial position, all of the energy at this point is gravitational potential energy. As the ball experiences constant downward acceleration, its motion immediately becomes apparent in that direction because the acceleration easily transforms gravitational potential energy back into kinetic energy.

As a result, at every point along the trajectory, the total of these interchangeable forms of energy remains constant.

As a box is pushed 30 meters across a horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force of 25 newtons, the kinetic energy of the b
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

                  = 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

                                   = 750 Joules + 300 Joules

                                   = 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ
