Answer:

The speed traveled by the car is 40 meter per second.

Explanation:

The formula for the relation between the power and the force is as follows:

P = Fv

Where F is the force and v is the speed.

As given

To travel at constant speed, a car engine provides 24KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600N.

F = 600 N

Convert power from KW to W.

1 KW = 1000 W

24 KW = 24 × 1000 W

           = 24000 W

Thus

P = 24000 W

Put these values in the formula.

24000 = 600 × v

24000 = 600v

v = \frac{24000}{600}

v = 40 meter per second .

Therefore the speed of the car is 40 meter per second .

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses
dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s
lesya [120]
Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

Who needs to know physics when they are making a satellite
vladimir2022 [97]
First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

Please, Help!!
Elenna [48]

Let, 1st force = a

2nd force = b

A.T.Q,

a+b = 10

a-b = 6

Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2

After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5

Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons
