To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to power as a function of the change of energy with respect to time. But we will consider the energy in the body equivalent to kinetic energy. The change in said energy will be the difference between the two velocity data given by half of the mass. We will first convert the given units into an international system like this

Initial Velocity,

V_i = 60km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_i = 16.6667m/s

Final Velocity,

V_f = 100km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_f = 27.7778m/s

Now Power is defined as the change of Energy over the time,

P = \frac{E}{t}

But Energy is equal to Kinetic Energy,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m\Delta v^2}{t}

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{t}

Replacing,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (900)(27.7778^2-16.6667^2)}{4}

P = 56kW

Therefore the correct answer is A.

If you are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).

Four point charges of magnitudes +3q, -q, +2q, and -4q are arranged in the corners of a square of side length L. The charge -q c
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d) 0 V

Explanation:

It can be showed that the potential due to a point charge q, to a distance d from the charge, can be expressed as follows:

V = \frac{k*q}{r}

where k = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon0} = 9e9 N*m2/C2

As the potential is an scalar, and is linear with the charge, we can apply the superposition principle, which means that we can find the potential due to one of the charges, as if the other were not present.

By symmetry, all four charges are at the same distance from the center, so we can write the total potential, as follows:

V = \frac{k}{d} ( q1 + q2 + q3 + q4) (1)

where d, is the semi-diagonal of the square, that we can find applying Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

d = \sqrt{\frac{L^{2}}{4} + \frac{L^{2}}{4} } = L*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Replacing by the values in (1) we have:

V = \frac{9e9N*m2/C2}{\frac{L}{2}*\sqrt{2} }* ( +3q -q + 2q + -4q)  = 0 V

which is equal to the option d).
